The first thing most people think about when they think about Hal Newhouser is World War II. That's ironic, given that he was not allowed to serve. But his dominance during the war years led to the longstanding belief that he was some kind of mirage, created by the lack of talent in the American League in those years. But, as Mike and Bill found out as they traced his career on the 80th anniversary of winning his first of consecutive MVP awards, that's not remotely the whole story, as Newhouser remained a dominant and Hall of Fame caliber pitcher for several years after everyone came home.

Plus, happy birthday to Billy Rogell and George Burns.

And farewell to John Baumgartner and Joey Jay.
