In 1942, Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson, two baseball legends, reunited for a war bond exhibition game, drawing immense crowds and raising significant funds for World War II efforts. Their participation highlighted sports' role in patriotism, showcasing the unity and spirit of Americans during a time of global conflict.
