by Harvey Frommer
Four times he led the American League in home run hitting. In 1938, he blasted 58 - no player had hit more in a season up to that point in time except for Babe Ruth . He starred in the majors for more than a decade and batted .313 for his career. He missed four and a half years to serve in WWII. He closed out his career in 1947 as a member of the Pittsburgh Pirates . He blasted 25 home runs that season, most of them into a section of the outfield known as "Greenberg Gardens." In 1956, he was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He passed away 30 years later. His name was Henry Benjamin Greenberg, but he was better known as Hank Greenberg "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg," a documentary film by Aviva Kempner is a loving and beautifully done tribute to a great player and goes into an in depth treatment about all he had to overcome to prevail. The film opens with Mandy Patinkin singing a Yiddish rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" while street scenes of young boys playing baseball in the Bronx in the 1930s enter the screen. The son of Romanian immigrants, Greenberg grew up Jewish in the Bronx and went on to star at James Monroe High School.

Yrs G AB Hits HR RBI SB BA Hank Greenberg biography on Baseball Almanac for complete statistics. Hank Greenberg played less than 10 full seasons in the Major Leagues, but he certainly made a statement. He was the first Jewish player not to hide his ethnic background. He was one of the first baseball players to leave the game to enlist in the service in World War II. He earned an MVP at first base and then, after switching positions, earned one while he was playing left field.. Greenberg was a massive player for his time, standing 6'4 and weighing 215 pounds. The son of Jewish immigrants, Greenberg graduated from a high school in the Bronx and played one semester for New York University. He had a tryout with the New York Giants, but manager John McGraw thought Greenberg was too clumsy. Despite this rejection, Greenberg received lucrative offers from the Yankees and the Senators. With the Yankees, Greenberg saw little future as a first baseman if he had to wait to play behind Lou Gehrig. He turned down both those offers and signed with the Detroit Tigers in 1930. He appeared in one game that season for the Tigers, picking up a single at-bat.

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF HANK GREENBERG 1998 - USA Director Aviva Kempner
Documentary - Reviewed by Frankie Joe DiMaggio, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron. These players are thought of most often when people look at prominent baseball figures from the 1930s and 1940s. However, another great slugger of the time often gets overlooked. Hank Greenberg, the first Jewish baseball player to not change his name to a Christian one usually gets forgotten. Those who remember him are most likely baseball buffs, or former residents of the Detroit area. Director Aviva Kempner wanted to change that. After Greenberg's death in 1986, Kempner began a 12-year struggle to fund, film, and spread awareness of Greenberg by making this film. Her hard work is evident. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg is a wonderful documentary. It's just long enough to keep it from getting boring, it has a good amount of humor, and the interviews and cross-references are mini-marvels. Hank Greenberg first stepped to the plate in 1934 when he got signed to the Detroit Tigers. Throughout the season, especially when the pennant race heated up, he was the constant target of anti-Semitic remarks from people in the crowd. Baseball was America's game, and some believed Jews shouldn't be allowed to play it. Greenberg gained popularity by often hitting one or two home runs a game, and leading his team to the pennant. For so many people though, he was much more than a baseball player. He was a Jewish icon, a symbol of hope, a voice speaking to all Jews in America that said they could be just as successful as the "true" Americans. In one interview a fan describes his school days when they used to listen to baseball games on the radio during class. Whenever Greenberg came up to the plate all the other kids would look at him, perhaps thinking he knew whether he would hit a home run or not. Indeed the player was a sense of pride for people he hadn't even met.

the Public Affairs and Record Home Page Current News News Archive Video Briefs Video Forums ... Home Page Life and Career of Hank Greenberg Celebrated in Kraft Center Film Presentation By Bernard Goldstein "Hammerin' Hank" Greenberg in 1946, his first full season back after returning from World War II. The Tigers' star led the American League that year with 44 home runs and 127 RBIs, proving he hadn't lost his edge. As Hank Greenberg walked to the plate during the 1935 World Series, a chorus of taunts could be heard from the opposing dugout and the crowd. The jeering grew louder and hate filled words rained down on him as he stepped in to take the first pitch. This was not something new for the Detriot Tigers' star player who endured anti-semitic slurs at almost every ballpark he played in. Finally the umpire stepped in and stopped the game until the taunting subsided. Such scenes resonate throughout Avivia Kemper's award winning documentary "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg," which tells the story of the first prominent Jewish baseball player. The film was screened on Nov. 8 at the Kraft Family Center for Jewish Life and featured an introduction by the late Hank Greenbeg's son, Steven, and Provost Jonathan Cole. Cole, a former Columbia baseball player, called Greenberg a "legendary player." "I am a great baseball fan. As a child I memorized every baseball statistic, and for many reasons really admired Jackie Robinson," Cole said, "Greenberg really helped to set the stage for (Robinson's) breaking the color barrier. His legacy goes beyond baseball."
