1943 Washington Senators Team Photo from Vintage Baseball Magazine
The 1943 page from the Sporting News Baseball Guide features the Washington Senators, a Major League Baseball team. The photograph displays the team members organized in three rows. The top row includes players Myatt, Leonard, Moore, Powell, Carrasquel, Lefebvre, Curtis, Candini, and Case. The middle row comprises Mertz, Sullivan, Niggeling, Clift, Early, Robertson, Johnson, and Priddy. The bottom row features Vernon, Wynn, Bengough, as well as coaches Bluege and Milan, with players Spence, Kampouris, and Giuliani. The Senators played in the American League, and during the early 1940s, their performance fluctuated, reflective of the era's challenges including World War II. This period was marked by teams adapting to player shortages and the overall impact of the war on professional sports.
