Sports writer Jack Cavanaugh discusses the baseball season of 1942, which he covers in his book "Season of '42: Joe D., Teddy Ballgame and Baseball's Fight to Survive a Turbulent First Year". It explains how the war effected the game and the American psyche. Baseball became a welcome diversion from the stark realities of war. This comes right before the start of the World Series, which starts on October 24th.
