Cecil Travis (MLB) recorded five hits in his first ever MLB game in 1933 and led the American League in hits in 1941. The shortstop finished his big-league career with a .314 batting average, which still ranks No. 1 at that position in baseball history. Travis, who played for the old Washington Senators (now the Baltimore Orioles, Minnesota Twins), joined the Army in 1941 and was deployed to Europe in 1944, where he took part in the Battle of the Bulge, eventually suffering from frostbite. After returning home, Travis attempted a comeback, but was never the same player. He retired in 1947.
