The Cloudbuster Nine: The Untold Story of Ted Williams and the Baseball Team That Helped Win World War II
In 1943, while the New York Yankees and St. Louis Cardinals were winning pennants and meeting in that year's World Series, one of the nation's strongest baseball teams practiced on a skinned-out college field in the heart of North Carolina. Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, and Johnny Sain were among a cadre of fighter-pilot cadets who wore the Cloudbuster Nine baseball jersey at an elite Navy training school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.As a child, Anne Keene's father, Jim Raugh, suited up as the team batboy and mascot.

He would have carried this story to his grave had Anne not discovered
