Somehow an equally large star named Elvis managed to answer the draft in the middle of his fame.
Also Joe Dimaggio
He gave up 2 plus years of his major league baseball career to serve
And Ted Williams in WWII and Korea during the prime of his career.
Williams was more proud of having been a combat aviator than he was of his astounding baseball career.
But then unlike Muhammad Ali, Ted Williams was a patriot.
You really have to wonder at fools like Mark Belling who worship Ali.
