recalls Serwin, who didn't get a din-
ner acceptance but received a gra-
cious note and the requested photo.
"I showed the
to a friend and
bragged to everybody."
Sheila Pearlman got an autograph
in 1936, when she and Greenberg
happened to be at the same place at
the same time.
"My sister and I walked over to
the spot where they were going to
build the Jewish Old Folks Home,"
Pearlman remembers. "The ground
had just been broken, and we want-
ed to see what.that looked like.
Apparently, Hank Greenberg had
wanted to see the same thing and
was there with a friend. His picture
was in the paper all the time, so I
recognized him and asked for his
autograph. I still have if."
Robert Steinberg has lots of Hank
Greenberg stories. Relatives knew
the slugger personally, and Steinberg
met the legendary player, his family
and friends at various tributes and
charity events over the years.
Steinberg's aunt and uncle, Edith
and Louis Blumberg, lived in the
Belcrest Hotel at the same time as
Greenberg.
"My aunt owned the Edith Brown

Shop and looked at clothing all
the time," Steinberg recalls. "At
home, she had a mirrored boudoir,
where she could look at her clothing
from all angles. When Hank heard
about it, he decided that would be a
good place to watch his swing and
asked if he could do that.
"They gave him a key to their
apartment, and each time they came
home they would listen for music
because that would let them know
Hank was in the boudoir with his
bat, watching every movement."
Steinberg got to know Greenberg
teammate Barney McCosky, who
had a favorite recollection. It had to
do with McCosky's working with
Greenberg after the slugger returned
from military service.
"They had switched Greenberg
from first base to leftfield, and
Barney, who played centerfield, vol-
unteered to help his pal practice
throwing," Steinberg explains.
"After they did this for five weeks,
Barney got a call from Hank to
meet for breakfast. "After the meal,
Hank took Barney to his custom
tailor, who was to make two suits
for McCosky as a gift for all the
help. Barney told me he had never
