It was a decade of war, and some of the best players losing seasons to service, allowing some of the remaining players to rise to the top of a leader board in postseason play that perhaps that wouldn't have otherwise topped. But the decade of the 1940s saw the emergence of some of the greatest players in baseball history, including Hank Greenberg, and World Series history, the second baseman for the Yankees who will be enshrined into the Hall of Fame, by the vote of the Veterans Committee, in 2009, Joe Gordon.
