For the second straight year, the Tigers and Jewish organizations have teamed up to present a day of baseball and a cel- ebration of the Tigers' strong ties to the Jewish community "Ifs a perfect combination; said Stuart Raider, president of the Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation, which will receive $1 from each ticket package sold as part of the promotion. The Tigers will face the defending American League champion Kansas City Royals at 1:08 p.m. Sunday, Sept 20. Jason Field, director of the Detroit Tigers Foundation for nearly 13 years and a Hillel Day School graduate, came up with the idea of a Jewish Heritage Day last year. It was held on Sept 14. "Last year's day primarily celebrated the 80th anniversary of the Tigers win- ning the AL pennant in 1934, Field said. "Of course, Hank Greenberg was a huge part of that team:' Greenberg hit .339 with 118 runs and 201 hits in only his second major league season. He led the league with 63 doubles and was third with 139 RBIs. This was the season Greenberg famously didn't play on Yom Kippur after reluc- tantly playing on Rosh Hashanah. The Tigers were 101-53 during the regular season for a .656 winning per- centage, which remains the best in team history. The 1968 and 1984 World Series champions were .636 and .642, respec- tively. Unfortunately, the 1934 Tigers lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series in seven games. A pre-game Jewish Heritage Day ceremony last year included Jewish com- munity leaders, Tigers second baseman Ian Kinsler, author John Rosengren j + Caring Companionship + Bathing & Dressing + Light Housekeeping of Rye Bread expires 8/5/15, (Hank Greenberg: The Hero of Heroes) DON'T MISS THE BUSINESS SECTION INSIDE THE JN THE SECOND WEEK EVERY MONTH Call 248.351.5107 for more information 50 July 23 • 2015 JN and filmmaker Aviva Kempner (The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg). Rabbi Elliot Pachter of Congregation B'nai Moshe of West Bloomfield threw out the first pitch. "It was a strike, of course Field said. Tigers manager Brad Ausmus posed for photos but he couldn't stick around for the ceremony because he had to get ready for the game. The three bases for the game com- memorated the day with a logo that contained Greenberg's uniform No. 5. Two of the bases were sold by the Tigers, with part of the proceeds benefitting the Tigers Foundation, and the other went to the Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation. Each ticket package last year included a mini-replica of Greenberg's plaque in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. The collectible is part of the package again this year. Upper box infield and upper reserve seats are offered. Go to www.figers.com/ jewishheritage. For group ticket sales (15 or more), contact Michelle Fields at (313) 471-2221 or michelle.fields@ detroittigers.com. A yarmulke with the Tigers' Old English D logo isn't part of the ticket package, but Field said there should be plenty in stock at the Tigers' D Shop at the stadium. Federation, NextGen Detroit, ComePlayDetroit and the Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation are working with the Tigers on the day's events. Other groups interested in getting involved should contact Fields. The $1 donation to the Michigan Jewish Sports Foundation from each ticket package sold will go toward the foundation's new Stars of Tomorrow scholarship program that helps young Jewish athletes pay for things like camps and travel teams. College athletes can get help with tuition. "The cost to play sports at any level is astronomical; Raider said. "My two sons both played travel hockey. That's not for the faint of wallet:' Applications are still being accepted for the first round of scholarships. Five $1,000 scholarships will be awarded, with the recipients honored Oct. 20 dur- ing the annual Michigan Jewish Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet.
