Gerald B. Campbell in World War II: Back home

He got home just after the 1945 World Series. Hank Greenberg got out of the military midway through the season and re-joined the Detroit Tigers and led them to the American League pennant and a World Series victory over the Chicago Cubs. Pop listened to the games on the troop ship as he returned home.
