JUNE
1942
IN THE NEWS:
Jimmie Foxx crosses leagues, waived by the Red Sox to the Cubs.
Army-Navy relief games by each team are publicized war efforts by organized baseball. The game at Ebbets Field contributes $60,000 from a crowd of 43,000, but the Phillies' game at Shibe Park draws only 2,000 fans and $3,000.
IN THE NEWS:
Red Sox star Ted Williams enlists as a Navy aviator. He will finish the season with his team as will many other players who enlist or await draft, which moves slowly despite the early discouragements of the war. Among AL regulars of 1941 who are now in the service: Johnny Rigney, Joe Grace, Johnny Berardino, Cecil Travis, Bob Feller, Pat Mullin, Buddy Lewis, Sam Chapman, Johnny Sturm.
Ted Williams hits five HRs in a week, but players are bemoaning a low-voltage ball. HRs will be down for the season by more than 25 percent, and the NL will average less than four runs a game per team for the first time since 1920.
