MLB Honoring Sacrifices On Veteran's Day

Go back to the Civil War, when, according to Albert Spaulding, "Modern baseball [was] born in the brain of an American soldier. It received its baptism in the bloody days of our Nation's direst danger. It had its early evolution when soldiers, North and South, were striving to forget their foes by cultivating, through this grand game, fraternal friendship with comrades in arms."
