On February 19 1942 —  Hal Trosky, whose season ended last August when he injured his finger and suffering from migraine headaches that cannot be treated, retires as first baseman of the Indians. Trosky, who batted .294 for Cleveland in 1941, retires from the game with 228 career home runs and a lifetime batting mark of .302. Trosky will come back to play for the Chicago White Sox in 1944 and 1946, but the Hall of Fame-type brilliance he showed in the 1930s is gone.
