{"product_id":"hank-greenberg-hank-greenberg-9781566638371","title":"Hank Greenberg: The Story of My Life","description":"Once in a great while there appears a baseball player who transcends the game and earns universal admiration from his fellow players, from fans, and from the American people. Such a man was Hank Greenberg, whose dynamic life and legendary career are among baseball's most inspiring stories. \u003ci\u003eThe Story of My Life\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of this extraordinary man in his own words, describing his childhood as the son of Eastern European immigrants in New York; his spectacular baseball career as one of the greatest home-run hitters of all time and later as a manager and owner; his heroic service in World War II; and his courageous struggle with cancer. Tall, handsome, and uncommonly good-natured, Greenberg was a secular Jew who, during a time of widespread religious bigotry in America, stood up for his beliefs. Throughout a lifetime of anti-Semitic abuse he maintained his dignity, becoming in the process a hero for Jews throughout America and the first Jewish ballplayer elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hank Greenberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1566638372\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781566638371\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ivan R.
