On a crisp September afternoon in 1917, as the country waged war and the national pastime faced questions about its purpose, baseball paused to reconsider what it stood for. At Fenway Park, the game’s greatest stars— including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, “Shoeless” Joe Jackson, Tris Speaker, Walter Johnson, and Connie Mack—took the field together in an exhibition played not for standings or championships, but for a colleague who had died, and for a cause larger than the game itself. Join Sinai’s own Scott Reich to hear about this important game and how it changed baseball forever.arrying the weight of a nation.
