Eddie Dyer’s worries with Grodzicki and Munger
Eddie Dyer of the Cardinals notes two pitchers, Johnny Grodzicki from Nanticoke, Pa., and George Munger, serving in the Pacific, as potential stars. Grodzicki bears a shrapnel wound in his leg but could be a 25 game winner. Munger, 1944 11-3 for the Cardinals, is in the Far East and may return to lead the staff. The piece lists many ex-servicemen expected to shape the 1946 pennant races and contrasts batters’ expectations with pitching strength across the leagues.
