- One of the promising newcomers in baseball was Art Sheehan of San Francisco, California, whose AAA-League records remain unbroken. While attending Galileo High School, Art led the Galileo Lions to the three consecutive championships in '41, '42, and '43 at 18-1 with an Earned-Run-Average of 1.3 and was named MVP of '43. His image was frequently printed in the San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Examiner, and headlines about being recruited by the MLB soon followed. This didn't happen though, as he was drafted to serve in World War II. Although offered a position in the Coast Guard, he chose the Air Corps instead because he didn't wanna take the cowardly route. The prospective athlete was quickly promoted to Sergeant and respected by his crew. Art -only two missions from being discharged- died along with several people in his crew after their aircraft exploded. He was the only crewmate whose body wasn't recovered in the wreckage, and after weeks of being MIA was pronounced dead at the age of 20. In recognition of his service, he was subsequently awarded a Purple Heart, Air Medal, and Oak Cluster, and decades later was inducted into the San Francisco Prep Hall of Fame and Galileo Sports Hall of Fame for his brief, impressive career in baseball.
