In 1943, the brand new York Yankees won the World Series but among the nation’s strongest baseball teams used on a skinned-out college field in the heart of NEW YORK. Boston Red Sox teammates Ted Williams and Johnny Pesky, and Boston Braves pitcher Johnny Sain were among a cadre of fighter-pilot cadets who used the Cloudbuster Nine baseball jersey at at the very top Navy training school at the University of NEW YORK at Chapel Hill.

As a kid, Anne Keene’s father, Jim Raugh, suited up about The Cloudbuster Nine: The Untold Story of Ted Williams and the Baseball Team That Helped Win World War II as the group bat son and mascot. He got to know his football heroes personally, viewing players hit the road on cramped, tin-can buses, amazing factory workers, children, and service users at a large number of video games, including a war-bond exhibition against a significant league team managed by Babe Ruth at Yankee Stadium.

Jimmy followed his baseball dreams like a university All-American but was crushed later on in life with a failed major-league bet using the Detroit Tigers. He would have transported this story to his grave acquired Anne not found out his scrapbook from a Navy Pre-Flight college that shaped some of America’s most significant heroes, including Presidents George H. W. Bush and Gerald Ford, astronaut and Senator John Glenn, and Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant.
