I
f you'd like to meet Lou Brock but
can't make it to the Hank Greenberg
Memorial Golf Invitational, you're
in luck.
An autograph session for the former
St. Louis Cardinals star will be held June
3 at DC Sports at Twelve Oaks Mall in
Novi, one day before the 22nd annual
invitational.
Most of the proceeds from the auto-
graphs will be donated to the Lou Brock
Scholarship Foundation and Michigan
Jewish Sports Foundation, which pres-
ents the invitational.
Brock will receive the Hank
Greenberg Lifetime Achievement Award
at the invitational during the din-
ner awards program at Franklin Hills
Country Club in Farmington Hills.
This is the first time the Greenberg
Award winner has been made available
for autographs outside the invitational.
DC Sports owner Steve Graus is excited
about hosting Brock at his store.
"I look at it as a win-win-win situa-
tion," he said. "The synergy is perfect.
We'll raise money for two foundations,
and sports fans will get a chance to
meet a Hall of Famer."
Graus has been a longtime supporter
of the invitational and the Michigan
Jewish Sports Foundation's annual
Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame
induction dinner, providing silent auc-
tion sports items.
Fans can bring their own item for
Brock to sign, or they can purchase an
item at DC Sports. Costs for an autograph
are $70-$150, depending upon the item.
"That's reasonable for someone in the
Hall of Fame Graus said.
The start and finish times for the
autograph session haven't been set, but
the session will be in the afternoon.
Graus suggests calling his store at (248)
374-8500 or checking out www.
detroitcitysports.com a few days before
June 3 to find out times.
Brock's foundation awards more than
$20,000 in scholarships annually to
needy college-bound high school stu-
dents in the St. Louis area and northeast
Louisiana, where Brock spent his child-
hood.
More than 200 students have received
nearly $300,000 in scholarships from
the foundation since 1983.
Invitational golfers can play at
Franklin Hills or Knollwood Country
Club in West Bloomfield on June 4.
Young adults (ages 35 and under) can
play at Knollwood for $150, attend the
dinner for $120, or do both for $250, all
discounted rates.
Golfers ages 36 and older can play at
Knollwood and attend the dinner for
$495, which is $100 less than the same
combination at Franklin Hills. Cost for
the dinner alone for those ages 36 and
older is $195.
Golf at Knollwood and Franklin Hills
includes a continental breakfast and
lunch on the course.
In addition to the awards program,
dinner includes a sports panel emceed
by ESPN reporter Jeremy Schapp.
Brock will be presented the
Greenberg Award; former Detroit
Tigers radio broadcaster Paul Carey
will receive the Dick Schapp Award for
Media Excellence; and Adam Bremen,
son of the late "Great Imposer" Barry
Bremen, will receive the inaugural Barry
Bremen Memorial Inspiration Award.
Jeremy Schapp will present the
award named for his late father. Steve
Greenberg, Hank Greenberg's son, will
present the award named for his late
father.
Proceeds from the invitational will
benefit the Lawrence and Idell Weisberg
Cancer Treatment Center in Farmington
Hills and children's charities. Hank
Greenberg died of cancer in 1986.

Greenberg's Gone
We recently reported that Virginia Tech
men's basketball coach Seth Greenberg
was named the U.S. men's basketball
coach for the 2013 Maccabiah Games in
Israel.
Greenberg was later fired by Virginia
Tech, despite a 167-117 record in nine
seasons and six post-season tourna-
ments. He was named the Atlantic Coast
Conference Coach of the Year in 2005
and 2008.
Virginia Tech did struggle last season,
going 15-16 overall and 4-12 in the ACC.
A member of the National Jewish
Sports Hall of Fame, Greenberg has won
nearly 400 games coaching Virginia
Tech, South Florida and Long Beach
State.
