Bill Would Make Clubs Hire Maimed Players
Senator Langer introduced a bill requiring at least 10 percent of players on every major league baseball team to be individuals who have lost limbs. The measure, set to take effect at the 1946 season start, carries fines up to 1000 dollars or one year imprisonment. Langer argues war veterans who lost limbs are unfairly barred from pro baseball, noting players like Lieut. Bert Shepard and Pete Gray as examples of potential contributions.
