The Mission of the SABR Research Committee, Baseball and the Armed Forces, is to research, compile and make available as much information as possible concerning the relationship between professional baseball and the armed forces.
For example, one high priority task which the Committee is undertaking is the building of a relational data base, linkable to other such data bases, as complete and as accurate as our resources allow, of baseball personalities who either served in the Armed Forces and/or had their careers affected in some way by wartime or military service of themselves or others.
Specifically this would include players, managers, coaches, umpires, scouts, administrators, sportswriters, broadcasters et al. of the Major Leagues, Minor Leagues, Negro Leagues and Japanese Leagues who served in the Civil War, Spanish-American War, Boxer Rebellion, World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Viet Nam War, the Afghan War, both Gulf Wars, various Latin American insurgencies and all periods in between.
The current database (in EXCEL format) can be downloaded at SABR-CMS.
