A Junior Library Guild Selection Story of MVP and Hall-of-Famer
"Hammerin" Hank Greenberg, one of the greatest hitters of all time
In 1934 young Hank Greenberg had his dream job--playing first base
for the Detroit Tigers. Unlike some other Jewish baseball players
of that time, Hank had not changed his name to disguise his
Jewishness--he was not going to pretend he was something he wasn't.
But there were many people who did not want to see a Jewish
baseball player on the field. They booed and jeered and called him
names, and most of his teammates were just standing by and letting
it happen. But Hank knew what he liked--baseball. So he played his
best, kept quiet, and let his batting average speak for him
instead. In 1934, however, when the Tigers were leading the league,
both Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur fell on game days. Hank consulted
a local rabbi, and decided he could play on Rosh Hashanah, a day of
celebration, but refused to play on Yom Kippur. He went to
synagogue services instead. The Tigers lost that game, and Hank was
blamed by many fans. A poem in the newspaper, however, recognized
Hank's achievements and that, despite everything, more people were
coming to accept him as a Jewish baseball player. "We shall miss
him on the field and shall miss him at the bat. But he's true to
his religion, and I honor him for that!" An end note with
historical photo explains more about Hank's baseball career as the
first Jewish superstar in American team sports. In the face of
prejudice, "let it spur you on to greater achievement, rather than
accept and be licked by it." --Hank Greenberg
