Gene Moore

He was a baseball prodigy. At the age of fifteen, Gene Moore was a boy, playing like a man, in a game where men, play like boys.

Headed for baseball stardom with the Brooklyn Dodgers, his destiny was interrupted by
Pearl Harbor.
His life... and
maybe our
national
pastime...
would be
forever altered.

A few from time to time have connected dots in this story that were never meant to be connected and I would like to take a moment to try to disconnect them. Ray Laws is not Elroy Face and it is not my intention to infer they are the same person. I met Elroy Face at a Cubs game in roughly 1964 and mention the meeting in the last chapter. I really have no idea how my dad knew Elroy Face and Elroy and I spoke of it recently. In his career he has met literally thousands of players and fans in the major and minors. How they met, I have no idea but the leap should not be made that Ray and Elroy are one and the same.
