721st History of 721st ROB by Nancy on Scribd

 A little more from Andy about his dad, Sergeant Henry Espinosa. His Dad's "War chest" is picture below and a photo after liberation.

He writes ..

Here’s an excerpt from a letter about his baseball playing to my grandmother, the letters all written in Spanish had to be translated. 

Aug 6th, 1945 Brussel Belgium …

Mom, right now I’m in the capital Brussels and I’ve been here for 2 days. We came to play ball. Possibly today at 2pm I will leave to go to Charleroi. All of our games went very well - we didn’t lose a single game - we played 7 games and won them all. The colonel brought us a pallet of beer as thanks for having won all of the games"

 Great stuff shared by Andy about his dad

He writes "View the below reprint from the Military Railway Service Journal – Jan 1959; Paragraph 7, third line down. It seemed that after the war there were lots of GI’s waiting to come home and needed to be entertained. The European Battalions organized baseball teams and my dad was the 744th’s star pitcher and team captain (of course). See attached travel orders to play baseball. They actually went 7 wins, 0 losses, undefeated. As my dad described it to me, they were given a train travel-car, a sleeper-car and a kitchen-car and cook, and were pulled over Europe to play their games. Interestingly, I found out about my dad’s ability at baseball pitching, hitting...years later at our family picnics. All the other uncles were ok, but he seemed to be a cut above. He could pitch like a semipro and I always wondered why. Then he shared that he led his Battalion team and his European baseball story. "
