Hank Greenberg's Jewish Pride
Recalled on Eve of Tiger Tribute
Former Detroit Tiger
Hank Greenberg, the
Jewish ballplayer whose
sense of religious pride
commanded nearly as much
respect as his awesome,
right-handed power-
hitting, will be honored by
the team Sunday in cere-
monies at Tiger Stadium.
The Tigers will retire
Greenberg's uniform
number, five, along with the
number two worn by Char-
lie Gehringer, another
Tiger star of the Depression
era.
Tucked among the statis-
tical accomplishments that
have earned him a place in
baseball's Hall of Fame, is
the story of how Greenberg
declined the chance to play
on Yom Kippur in 1934,
while the Tigers were
locked in a tight race for the
American League pennant.
The Tiger first base-
man had played on Rosh
Hashana, eight days be-
fore, only after Rabbi Leo
M. Franklin of Temple
Beth El had consulted the

The Tigers went on to win
the pennant anyway, but
lost the 1934 World Series
to the St. Louis Cardinals in
seven games. Greenberg,
the only Jewish baseball
player in the major leagues
at that time, wasn't always
treated with such respect
however.
In a profile in the De-
Leah Snider was installed
as president for a second
term of the Sinai Hospital
Guild at the guild's annual
meeting, at Cong: Shaarey

Installed with Mrs.
Snider were: Hilda Krawitz,
Phyllis Newman, Marjorie
Federman, Estelle Elkus,
vice presidents; Shirley

President Mrs. Snider
announced that the

Endowment Fund has
grown to $623,000. A total
of $105,000 has already
been contributed to car-

Mrs. Krawitz presented a
check of $40,000 from gift
shop sales to Sinai's Execu-

We shall miss him in the
infield,
and we shall miss him at
the bat,
But he's true to his reli-
gion
and I honor him for that.
troit News Sunday Maga-
zine, Greenberg recalled
that although he was em-
braced by the Jewish
community and made
friends all over the city,
opposing players and
fans would often shout
racist slurs at him.
"They always had a
couple,pf guys in the dugout
just doing that to you," the
former Tiger said. "Some of
the things they yelled were
pretty nasty, but I could al
ways handle it pretty well
. • . . I was a `kike' or a
`sheenie' or a `mockie' . . I
was the only Jew, so they
seemed to reserve a little
extra for me."
Greenberg's son, Steve,
an attorney who lives in Los
Angeles, feels his father's
religion enhanced his repu-
tation as one of the game's
more memorable stars. "I'm
constantly amazed at the
number of people who rec-
ognize him," Steve Green-
berg said. "Frankly, it has
to do with the ethnic aspect
of his career. People say to
me, 'I remember your dad
didn't play on the Jewish
holiday in 1934 . . . Your
dad is a great Jew as well as
a great ballplayer.' "
