Best Answer

yes,

Able-bodied men were expected to serve in the military, and most qualified professional athletes answered the call. Early in 1941 sports stars inducted into the armed forces included Baseball player Hank Greenberg and football players Dave Smulker and Chuck Gelatka. By 1945, 509 active Major League Baseball players had served, some two hundred colleges had disbanded their football teams because players went to war, and four thousand boxers, including five world champions, had joined the military.
