About 'cleveland browns final score today'-Bills vs. Browns: Live Game Grades and Analysis for Buffalo








Hank               Greenberg               was               not               the               first               Jewish               player               in               Major               League               Baseball,               but               at               the               time               of               his               retirement               from               the               game               in               1947               he               was               the               greatest               Jewish               player               ever.

Only               Sandy               Koufax               would               rival               Hank               Greenberg               as               a               hero               in               the               Jewish               population,               but               Koufax               did               not               have               to               endure               what               Hank               Greenberg               did.

Like               Jackie               Robinson,               who               would               arrive               on               the               scene               in               Hank               Greenberg's               last               year,               he               underwent               vicious               ethnic               taunting               and               faced               prejudice               at               all               stops               along               the               way,               only               to               slug               his               way               into               the               Hall               of               Fame.

Henry               Benjamin               Greenberg               was               born               in               1911               in               New               York               City,               the               son               of               Orthodox               Jews               who               had               emigrated               from               Romania.

Upon               his               graduation               from               the               James               Monroe               High               School               in               the               Bronx,               Hank               Greenberg               was               a               sought               after               ballplayer,               having               stood               out               in               basketball               and               baseball.

At               six-foot               three,               Hank               Greenberg               worked               hard               to               become               a               skilled               athlete;               always               afraid               of               being               ridiculed               for               his               awkwardness,               he               would               practice               and               practice               until               he               was               no               longer               clumsy.

In               1929,               the               Yankees               expressed               interest               in               him,               but               Hank               Greenberg,               who               wanted               to               play               first               base,               saw               his               path               in               the               Bronx               blocked               by               Lou               Gehrig               and               instead               attended               New               York               University               for               a               year.

In               1930,               Hank               Greenberg               signed               with               the               Detroit               Tigers               for               $9,000               and               rose               quickly               through               their               minor               league               system.
               While               with               Beaumont               of               the               Texas               League,               Hank               Greenberg               won               the               MVP               Award               with               39               homers               and               131               runs               batted               in.

One               of               his               teammates               that               year               was               a               player               named               JoJo               White,               who               would               later               be               with               him               in               Detroit.

White               walked               around               Hank               Greenberg               one               day,               staring               intently               at               him,               and               when               asked               why               he               replied,               "I               have               never               seen               a               Jew               before.

You're               just               like               everyone               else."               But               Hank               Greenberg's               reception               in               the               majors               would               be               much               more               distasteful               and               filled               with               hatred.
               The               Tigers               made               him               a               full-time               first               baseman               in               1933,               and               Hank               Greenberg               responded               with               87               runs               batted               in               while               playing               in               only               117               games.

The               next               year,               Hank               Greenberg               became               a               star,               batting               .339               with               139               RBI               and               26               homers.

Detroit               won               the               pennant               by               seven               games               over               the               Yankees,               but               lost               the               World               Series               in               seven               to               the               Cardinals,               who               rode               Hank               Greenberg               mercilessly.

They               would               hurl               one               insult               after               another               at               Hank               Greenberg,               such               as               yelling               "Throw               a               pork               chop               at               him,               he               can't               hit               that",               referring               to               the               Jewish               laws               regarding               kosher.

The               Cards'               pitchers               wished               they               had               that               option,               as               Hank               Greenberg               knocked               in               seven               runs               in               the               Series               and               batted               .321.

Greenberg               didn't               always               turn               the               other               cheek,               having               once               gone               after               White               Sox               manager               Jimmy               Dykes               after               being               peppered               with               insults               all               day.
               As               great               of               a               season               as               that               was,               Hank               Greenberg               surpassed               it               in               1935               when               he               knocked               in               170               runs,               belted               36               homers,               and               batted               .328               to               be               named               the               American               League's               MVP.

The               Tigers               went               to               the               World               Series               again,               this               time               facing               the               Chicago               Cubs.

In               Game               Two,               Hank               Greenberg               hit               a               two               run               homer,               but               later               suffered               a               broken               wrist               trying               to               score               from               first               on               a               single               and               was               an               onlooker               as               Detroit               defeated               Chicago               in               seven               games.

He               broke               the               same               wrist               in               a               first               base               collision               early               in               1936,               after               he               had               gotten               off               to               a               hot               start,               with               16               runs               batted               in               for               just               12               contests.

Hank               Greenberg               would               not               play               again               in               1936,               but               came               back               in               1937               with               one               of               baseball's               greatest               campaigns.
               By               now,               Hank               Greenberg               was               a               hero               in               the               Jewish               community,               being               offered               a               plethora               of               free               gifts,               which               he               always               refused.

On               May               22nd,               1937,               Hank               Greenberg               hit               a               ball               in               Boston's               Fenway               Park               to               centerfield               that               was               called               the               longest               homer               ever               hit               there               at               the               time.

On               September               19,               Hank               Greenberg               hit               the               first               home               run               ever               to               land               in               the               centerfield               stands               at               Yankee               Stadium.

At               season's               end,               Hank               Greenberg               had               accumulated               183               runs               batted               in,               the               third               highest               total               ever               behind               Hack               Wilson's               191               and               Lou               Gehrig's               186.

He               batted               .337               with               40               homers,               yet               he               did               not               win               his               second               MVP,               somehow               failing               to               garner               any               first               place               votes.

His               teammate,               second               baseman               Charlie               Gehringer               won               the               honor,               batting               .371.

Hank               Greenberg               had               87               more               runs               batted               in               than               Gehringer               that               year!
               After               an               assault               on               the               RBI               record               in               1937,               Hank               Greenberg               made               one               on               Babe               Ruth's               home               run               mark               of               60               in               1938.

By               late               September               he               had               tied               Jimmie               Foxx's               standard               for               right-handed               hitters               with               58,               but               in               the               last               five               games               Hank               Greenberg               got               very               few               pitches               to               hit.

The               Indians               in               particular               had               their               hurlers               stay               clear               of               Hank               Greenberg's               bat,               as               Cleveland               and               Detroit               were               battling               for               third               place               in               the               league               and               the               extra               money               that               went               with               that.

But               there               were               also               stories               circulating               that               pitchers               were               intentionally               walking               him               so               a               Jew               would               not               break               Ruth's               record.

Hank               Greenberg               wound               up               with               the               58               home               runs               and               146               RBI,               but               Jimmie               Foxx               won               the               MVP               when               he               hit               50               with               175               RBI.
               A               112               RBI               year               in               1939               was               followed               by               a               monster               150               runs               batted               in               effort               in               1940               for               Hank               Greenberg,               who               willingly               learned               how               to               play               left               field               that               year               to               make               room               for               hard-hitting               Rudy               York,               who               was               such               a               bad               fielder               that               first               base               was               the               only               place               you               could               hide               him               defensively.

The               Tigers               won               another               pennant,               and               Hank               Greenberg               became               the               first               man               to               win               an               MVP               Award               at               two               different               positions.

Once               more               the               World               Series               came               down               to               a               seventh               game,               with               the               Reds               defeating               the               Tigers,               although               Hank               Greenberg               batted               .357               with               a               homer               and               six               RBI.
               In               1941,               Hank               Greenberg               became               one               of               the               first               pro               baseball               players               to               be               inducted               into               the               service,               after               he               initially               had               failed               his               first               physical               with               "flat               feet"               but               insisted               on               another.

He               was               honorably               discharged               on               December               5th,               as               Congress               decided               to               release               men               28               years               of               age               or               older               from               their               military               obligation.

When               Pearl               Harbor               was               attacked               two               days               later,               Hank               Greenberg               re-enlisted               and               joined               the               Air               Force,               eventually               going               to               the               Pacific               Theater               as               a               first               lieutenant.

By               time               he               returned               to               baseball               in               1945,               he               had               lost               more               than               four               years               of               his               prime.

But               he               was               one               of               the               first               ballplayers               to               return,               and               Hank               Greenberg               joined               the               Tigers               in               time               to               help               them               in               their               pennant               race.
               His               grand               slam               on               the               season's               final               day               against               the               Browns               clinched               the               flag               over               the               Senators,               and               Hank               Greenberg               went               to               his               fourth               and               last               World               Series.

This               time               he               came               out               on               top               and               played               the               entire               seven               games,               hitting               .304               with               a               pair               of               homers               and               seven               runs               knocked               in               as               Detroit               topped               the               Cubs               for               the               title.

In               23               Fall               Classic               tilts,               Hank               Greenberg               batted               .318               with               five               homers               and               23               runs               batted               in.

He               had               another               super               year               in               1946,               with               44               homers               and               127               ribbies,               and               then               the               Tigers               sold               him               to               the               Pirates,               where               he               hit               25               home               runs               in               1947               before               retiring.

Hank               Greenberg               had               a               lifetime               batting               average               of               .313               with               313               homers               and               1,276               runs               batted               in,               despite               really               playing               only               nine               full               seasons.

Experts               project               that               had               he               had               a               longer               career,               Hank               Greenberg               would               have               had               from               1,800               to               2,000               runs               batted               in               and               500               plus               homers.

During               that               1947               season,               Hank               Greenberg               was               one               of               the               few               players               to               welcome               Jackie               Robinson               to               the               sport               publicly,               having               experienced               the               taunting               first               hand               as               a               Jew.

Robinson               himself               said               of               Hank               Greenberg,               "Class               tells.

Greenberg".

In               1956,               Hank               Greenberg               was               the               first               Jewish               player               to               be               elected               to               the               Hall               of               Fame,               with               85%               of               the               vote.

He               passed               away               in               1986               at               the               age               of               75.
               
               In               the               midst               of               a               pennant               race               in               1934,               Hank               Greenberg               faced               a               complex               problem.

The               Tigers               were               playing               an               important               game               on               September               10th,               which               was               the               holy               day               of               Rosh               Hashanah,               and               there               was               debate               whether               he               should               play               or               honor               the               day.

Hank               Greenberg               decided               to               play,               and               he               hit               a               pair               of               homers               against               Boston               to               win               the               game               2-1.

Ten               days               later               he               spent               Yom               Kippur               observing               the               holy               day               in               a               synagogue,               and               Detroit               went               down               to               defeat.

This               inspired               the               Poet               Laureate               of               Michigan,               Edgar               Guest,               to               pen               the               following-
               Come               Yom               Kippur               -               holy               fast               day               wide-world               over               to               the               Jew               -               
               And               Hank               Greenberg               to               his               teaching               and               the               old               tradition               true               
               Spent               the               day               among               his               people               and               he               didn't               come               to               play               
               Said               Murphy               to               Mulrooney,               'We               shall               lose               the               game               today!


               We               shall               miss               him               in               the               infield               and               shall               miss               him               at               the               bat,               
               But               he's               true               to               his               religion               -               and               /               honor               him               for               that!
