According to MLB, Waldron served in the military from July 1943 until 1946, taking part of both the Makin Island and Saipan invasions before retiring as a petty officer, 2nd class.

The Mariners dominated the San Diego Padres, but Burke’s spritely start to the game was definitely the highlight of the day.
