By 1944, MLB was stripped of most of the able-bodied players. Hank Wyse was rejected of military service due to a spinal injury. For 71 years he was the last Cub to pitch in the World Series.
In 1944 Dom Dellessandro was designated 4-F due to a head injury he suffered running into an outfield wall in 1933. A year later he was re-examined and cleared for duty. He was inducted into the army in March, 1945.
