From the back cover

The War was still going on. And baseball, like everything else, paid a price. Joe DiMaggio, Phil Rizzuto, Red Ruffing, and Tommy Henrich left the Yankees to sign up. Key players were also gone from the St. Louis Cardinals. Still, the two teams repeated as pennant winners. As part of a special home-video series on the World Series, the 1943 Fall Classic will take you back to some of the great players of the day. Depleted though they were, the Cardinals had Marty Marion, brothers Mort and Walker Cooper, and a blossoming star in Stan Musical. And though the Yankees had also been weakened, they still boasted Frank Crosetti, Charlie Keller, Bill Dickey, and Joe Gordon. They also had terrific pitching, and in a tense, well-matched Series, the Yankees avenged their loss to the Cardinals the year before -- winning their seventh world championship under Joe McCarthy.
