Sidenote - My uncle, who is still alive today, was 9 when this photo was taken - and he still has his own house.

Unfortunately no that was my other side who was into baseball, this uncle was too busy dodging the Nazi's in Poland. He still tells me amazing WW2 stories. I had relatives fighting on both sides, as a kid at relative parties they would get bombed on hard stuff and be yelling at the top of their lungs at each other, "You fought for those Nazi bastards!!!" I had too, they put a gun to my head and said fight for us or die, choose?!"

My dad though as a kid saw a double-header at Comiskey Park and said he saw Feller pitch one game and Satchel Paige pitched the other.
