Speaking of that generation: Jackie Robinson, who was 28 years old as a rookie, was the only MLB player born in 1919 to get 1500 career hits. Vic Raschi, who won 132 games, was the only pitcher to clear 100 wins. The war took its price.https://www.baseball-reference.com/leagues/MLB/1919-births.shtml …

In the 3 years before & the 2 after his military (1945 he won only 5 games so he lost 4 years essentially), Spahn *averaged* 24.5 wins a year - & led the league in wins each year. W/out WWII, he was a cinch for 300 wins. Great pitcher.
