That's some great stuff! I especially like Gary's snapshot of Bert Shepard, who had such an inspiring story. Is that Fenway Park in the background? Here are a few photos, including one of the U.S. Navy's Aiea Barracks team in Hawaii from 1944-45 — those pictured include Bill Dickey, Fred Hutchinson, Max Patkin and Billy Herman. The others show 1) a baseball field on the island of Guadalcanal shortly after the famous battle, and 2) an action shot from a game on Bougainville Island that would have made a nice cover image for LIFE magazine in 1945.
