I can't believe I mis-typed his first name or his nickname, Sibby - getting it wrong both in the title and in the body of the post.
Sibby was Another player, who while he wasn't destined for greatness, certainly may have never reached his full potential with a long playing career interruption, as he gave three years to the military in their effort to win World War Two. You have to say that he was at the very least, a brave patriot. He had a few years with the Boston Braves where he had enough at bats to be considered an everyday or regular player before entering the service and only one such year, 1951, afterwards. He was already thoroughly enmeshed in his substitute role by 1948, when he appeared in only two games for the Braves and got only one at-bat in the 6-Game, 1948 World Series and he was gone from the major league scene by June of 1954..
