Game two of the 1944 World Series was the only Fall Classic in which both teams came from the same city, as the St. Louis Cardinals faced their crosstown rivals, the St. Louis Browns. Both clubs played at Sportsman's Park, so the games carried a neighborly, almost family-style rivalry that drew fans from across the city. The Series was played during World War II, when many regular players had entered military service and rosters were thinner than usual. Scenes from these games capture a wartime fall in which baseball offered a familiar diversion for a home-front public.
