Yeah, I don't know how Apps didn't get picked last time, actually the problem with WWII era players is that it really did cut into their playing time, especially for those that missed four years of their prime.
Actually the one thing that I find interesting was the pay that the players received (Apps made $6000 per year... not much even with inflation) and the medical treatments that the players received (think plates inserted into knees to act as braces for what I assume was a ACL//MCL injury)... really puts a few things into perspective!
