Hall Of Famer Hank Greenberg Dies

Henry Benjamin (Hank)
Greenberg, the first Jewish
player to be inducted into the
Baseball Hall of Fame, died
Sept. 4 in Beverly Hills,
Calif. He was 75.
Born in New York, Mr.
Greenberg was elected to the
Hall of Fame in 1956. He was
named to the Michigan
Sports Hall of Fame in 1958,
the International Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame in 1979
and the Michigan Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame in Sep-
tember 1985.
Against his parents wishes
— they wanted him to be a
doctor, dentist or lawyer —
Mr. Greenberg began his
baseball schooling in 1930,
and was signed by the De-
troit Tigers as their regular
first baseman in 1933. He
played first base and left field
with the Tigers for 12 sea-
sons (1930, 1933-41, 1945-
1946). His final season, 1947,
was with the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates.
Mr. Greenberg was named
the American League's Most
Valuable Player in 1935 and
1940. In 1938, he tied the
still-standing major league
record for the most home
runs (58) by a right-handed
batter and set the record for
the most two-or-more home
run games (11) in a season.
His career was interrupted
in May 1941 for service in
the U.S. Army.
In 1973, he was the Ameri-
can League's honorary cap-
tain at the All-Star Game in
San Francisco.
Mr. Greenberg racked up
331 career home runs, 1,276
runs batted in and held a
.313 lifetime batting average.
He led the American League
in home runs five times and
runs batted in four times.
After retiring as a player,
Mr. Greenberg became part-
owner and later general
manager of the Cleveland In-
dians baseball team. He was
dismissed, but returned to
baseball as vice president and
general manager of the
Chicago White Sox.
In 1934, the late Dr. Leo
M. Franklin rabbi of Detroit's
oldest Jewish congregation,
Temple Beth El, gave Mr.
Greenberg special "dispensa-
tion" allowing the baseball
great to play on Rosh
Hashanah.
According to a Detroit
News report, dated Sept. 11,
1934, Detroit was leading the
American League race and on
Sept. 10 a particularly impor-
tant game against Boston
was due to be played. Detroit
News writer H.G. Salsinger
wrote that without the help
of Mr. Greenberg's bat, De-
troit would not have won the
game against Boston. Mr.
Greenberg blasted in two
drives over the fences, result-
ing in a Tiger win, 2-1, over
Boston.
Dr. Franklin's reasoning
for allowing Greenberg to
play was as follows: "Mr.
Greenberg, who is a conscien-

game would mean something
not only to himself but his
fellow players and in fact at
this time, to the community
of Detroit.

In a related item, the News
said Mr. Greenberg felt a
pang of guilt about playing
on Rosh Hashanah. But the
Detroit News found another
rabbi who found a reference
in the Talmud which gave
the okay to Mr. Greenberg's
holiday ball playing.

Hank Greenberg

tious Jew, must decide for
himself whether he ought to
play or not. From the
standpoint of Orthodox
Judaism, the fact that ball
playing is his means of
livelihood would argue
against his participation in
the Monday game. On the
other hand, it might be
argued quite consistently
that his taking part in the
