Greenberg All-Star honor

had in baseball," Green-
berg admitted. "It was
hard to go from a winning
team to a losing one. Play-
ing on a winning team is
what, . it's all about in
baseball. Individual statis-
tics don't matter much. I
was so used to being on
winning teams in Detroit
and going to a losing team
was a tremendous letdown.
It was no fun playing on a
losing team."
While his playing days
ended after the 1947 sea-
son, his single days ended
in 1946 when he married
Caral Gimbel, daughter of
the owner of Gi bel's De-
partment Stor in New
York. The Gr enbergs
moved to Cleveland in
1948 and Greenberg was in
charge of the minor
leagues for the pennant-
winning Indians. In 1950,
he became general man-
ager and was instrumental
in putting together the
1954 pennant winners as
the club won with a league
record of 111 victories.
In 1956, the baseball
world recognized his play-
ing accomplishments and
he was elected to the Hall
of Fame in Cooperstown.
His reputation as an excel-
lent baseball front office
administrator was grow-
ing and he became vice
president of the Chicago
White Sox in 1959. The Sox
did well during the stretch
and won the pennant in
Greenberg's first year.
Four years later he left the
game to devote more time
to his investments and
tennis game.
His marriage to Caral
Gimbel ended in divorce
and Greenberg remarried
in 1965. The Greenbergs
reside in Beverly Hills,
Calif., and he is still active
on the tennis courts. The
Greenberg name is still
part of the baseball scene,
though. His son Steve, who
played minor league ball,
is now a member of a prom-
inent Century City, Calif.,
law firm and represents
some 55 athletes.

As the Olympic Games in
Los Angeles approach, Jews
are quick to remember the
tragedy of the 1972 Munich
Olympics when 11 Israeli
athletes were slain.
In memory of the 11, a Los,
Angeles group, Remember
the 11, headed by Rabbi
David Baron of the New
Valley Synagogue in Sher-
man Oaks, Calif., has com-
missioned a memorial
medal to be struck.
The medal, in silver, gold
and bronze, and available at
the main Jewish Commu-
nity Center here, bears'the
inscription "Memorial to
the 11, Israel Martyred
Olympians: Munich 1972-
Los Angeles 1984" and
bears a lighted menorah,
whose center flame is the
Olympic torch.
The obverse bears 11
stars and an inscription
taken from Genesis.
According to Rabbi Ba-
ron, the son-in-law of Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph (Sally)
Radner of Berkley, Mich.,
the Los Angeles Olympic
Coordinating Committee
was approached to have a
moment of silence in mem-
ory of the slain Israelis, but
it refused on the grounds
•
••
that it may offend with
Arab groups.
Instead, the Remember
the 11 committee in con-
junction with the Simon
Wiesenthal Center will
conduct a city-wide, inter-
denominational,
candlelight vigil at the cen-
ter on July 26, to honor the
memory of the slain
athletes.
Rabbi Baron said the
Jewish National Fund af-
filiate in Los Angeles
planted 11 trees, one for
each of the murdered
athletes, in the Pan Pacific
Park in the Fairfax Ave.
area of Los Angeles.
In Detroit this week to
promote the sale of the
memorial medal, Rabbi
Baron said of the striking of
the medal "we didn't want
to dwell on morbidity. We
did it just to remember. The
spirit'of competition and ex-
cellence in sports must have
a collective memory."
The medal was designed
by Alex Shagin, former
chief artist at Russia's
Leningrad Mint, who de-
signed many of the official
1980 Moscow Olympics
commemorative coins. The
Jewish artist was able to
............
.........
leave his native Russia for a
life of freedom in the U.S.
and one of his designs won
the 1983 Exhibition Award
of the American Medallic
Sculpture Association and
another hasbeen chosen by
the U.S. Track and Field
Team for its official fund-
raising campaign.
Proceeds from the sale of
the medals will benefit the
Israel and U.S. Olympic
Teams, the Jewish-
American Hall of Fame and
other causes in Israel.
The medal was struck by
the Johnson Matthey Re-
finery .
The athletes to whom the
medal pays tribute are:
David Berger, 28, a
weightlifter from Ohio, who
settled in Israel in 1971;
Ze'ev Friedman, 28, ban-
tam weightlifter; Yosef
Gottfreund, 40, a wrestling
referee; Eliezer Halfin, 24, a
wrestler; Joseph Romano,
32, Isreal's premier track
and field coach; Kehat
Shori, 53, shooting team
coach; Mark Slavin, 18, a
wrestler; Andre Spitzer, 27,
Israel's, top fencing coach;
Ya'acov Springer, 52,
weightlifting referee; and
Moshe Weinberg, 32.
