| Description | World War II cartoon shows Democratic National Committee Chairman Robert Hannegan as a baseball player in the Philadelphia baseball stadium, Shibe Park, telling President Roosevelt (shown as a baseball player sitting on the bench), "You'll have to get in there and PITCH." When there were reports in October, during the 1944 presidential election, that Republican candidate Thomas E. Dewey was gaining, President Roosevelt abandoned his aloof stance as preoccupied commander in chief and mounted an effective campaign, making six major speeches. Roosevelt won handily in November. |
