with "citation needed" for the reason -- his alleged hearing problem. His established record of playing a full schedule throughout the war years cannot be doubted, but what sort of hearing problem would be so severe as to make him unfit for the military while permitting him to play baseball? Virtually all other prominent Major Leaguers were in the military during the war, though quite likely protected from hazardous duty. I'm unaware of any who were killed or even wounded.
