Trivia: Which slugger served in both World War II and the Korean War?
Joe DiMaggio
Hank Greenberg
Ted Williams
Willie Mays
The correct answer is Ted Williams
So why is this answer correct? : Though many Hall of Fame players defended their country in the line of duty, only Ted Williams left baseball behind on two separate occasions to serve in the U.S. Marines and Navy. Williams missed three seasons during the 1940s during WWII, and in 1952, left for Korea after playing only six games that season. He returned to the sport on August 6, 1953, to finish out his career.
