Hammerin' Hank Greenberg: The Jewish Babe Ruth

â??There was nobody in the history of the game who took more abuse than Greenberg, unless it was Jackie Robinson.â? So says Birdie Tebbetts, a Detroit teammate who watched as Hammerinâ?? Hank Greenberg smashed his way through the major leagues of baseball. Arguably the greatest Jewish ballplayer who ever lived, Greenberg smacked out homer after homer leading the Detroit Tigers to the World Series four times. Written as a screenplay, the life of Hank Greenberg is filled with hate, love, frustration and redemption. It is a story that transcends the times and is as much relevant today as it was in years past. The struggle against prejudice and hatred is a human struggle for acceptance and understanding and Hank Greenbergâ??s story is a story of the human condition.
