IN THE

Jewish ballplayers wanted
to grow up to be him,"
recalled Steinberg.
"Anything bad that happen-
ed to him happened to all of
us."
Greenberg "was very at-
tentive to that symbol" of
being Jewish, Steinberg
noted. He told of a bar mitz-
vah class in Flint that wrote
a letter to Greenberg saying
they were coming to Detroit
for one of his games and
would he meet them at a res-
taurant beforehand? Green-
berg obliged, walking in and
shaking hands and giving
autographs.
Among the Jewish com-
munity, "Everybody went to
the ballpark, not necessarily
to see the Tigers, but to see
Hank hit home runs.
"He was the guy who
turned on the city. Guys who
didn't like him because he
was Jewish liked him be-
cause he was a Tiger home
run hitter.
"All the Jewish women
wanted to go out with him,"
said Steinberg, noting Hank
broke their hearts when he
married Caral Gimbel of the
department store family.
Greenberg "was a Depres-
sion-era guy. There were
thousands of Jewish people
immigrating to the United
States and everybody was
looking for a hero, and he
was the hero," said the Sinai
executive, who also admits
to a case of youthful hero-
worship regarding Green-
berg.
Steinberg sought to follow
in Greenberg's footsteps by
trying out for the Tigers as a
first baseman and pitcher in
1950. Steinberg, however,
chose college over the minor
leagues.
In Greenberg's days,
Steinberg was fortunate that
an uncle, Louis Blumberg,
"Was one of Greenberg's
closest friends, and he used
to tote me to the ballpark to
watch Hank. They used to
walk him a great deal."
Steinberg said Fielder,
who has to put up with far
more media pressure than
Greenberg ever did, deserves
to reach the 50-homer
plateau. "I hope Fielder gets
it. He deserves that reaction
from the fans.
"Fielder's a class guy and
that's the way Hank was,
too."
Steinberg had dinner with
Greenberg the evening his
and Charlie Gehringer's
numbers were retired by the
Tigers in 1983.
It was that same year that
Irwin Cohen of Oak Park,
the Tigers' coordinator of
group ticket sales, joined the
team's front office staff.

Cecil Fielder:
"Deserves that reaction."

Although born after 1938,
Cohen can attest to the
power of the Greenberg
legend, noting people were
still talking about the 58
home runs at Cohen's first
baseball game, in 1950.
"Later on, I heard from
Jewish men and women who
said they hadn't attended a
game since Hank left
Detroit. I was still hearing
that from people in their 70s
in 1983."
Greenberg died of cancer
in 1986. 1=1
