Draft Law Bumps Up Age Limit for Major League Draft
New draft law sets an age ceiling of 28 for selectees, enabling deferments and potential reclassification for several prominent players including Hank Greenberg and Cecil Travis. It spares some veterans while affecting others like Hugh Mulcahy and Augie Galen, with many 23 plus players already married or with dependents. The measure targets easing military service strain on MLB rosters amid wartime.
