Jumpin' Jimminy--A World War II Baseball Saga

Now, he can field a hard-hitting, determined American team to battle the Japanese in a Swedish World Series. Waiting for spring training, the Yanks get "essential" jobs. Two carry out daring undercover assignments for the OSS. The team's shortstop, the only black GI assigned to a U.S. bomber crew, speaks fluent Swedish which he learned working for Swedes in Chicago. He helps his Swedish moonshining "cousins" create Sweden's absolutely greatest akvavit. And the other Yanks valiantly help the Allied war effort in the cold, grim, oasis of peaceful Swedish neutrality. And then it's Spring of 1945 and "Play Ball" in the first and only Swedish World Series.
