| Synopsis : |
Baseball Hall of Famer Greenberg died before he could finish this autobiography. Luckily, journalist Berkow agreed to complete it, skillfully filling in gaps in the story through the use of interviews and contemporary newspaper accounts. Born and raised in the shadows of Yankee Stadium, Greenberg was a star slugger for the Detroit Tigers from 1933 to 1947 and was the first player to challenge Babe Ruth's single-season record of 60 home runs, hitting 58 in 1938. The fact that he was one of the first Jewish major leaguers affected his entire career as he answered anti-Semitic critics with the crack of his bat. A fine tribute to a fine human being as well as a star ballplayer. |
