health & wellness >> sports In recognition of National Women's Health Week Catch Brock Lou Brock Steve Stein Contributing Writer 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. ❑ Send news to sports@thejewishnews.com . , c tria TATE w .osir% AYNEs e.j Wayne State University School of Medicine and Wayne State University Physician Group present (2,A it+ 4440 Criditor *Ha vee ed May 17, 6 to 8 p.m. Scott Hall, 540 E.
