This book is by Yona Zeldis McDonough. On the fields of Crotona Park nobody knew that soon enough a Jewish baseball star/hall of famer was born. His name was Hank Greenberg. He was very big and tall, and at age 13 was already 6 feet 3 inches. Hank loved baseball but his parents did not want him to play. They wanted him to go to college and get an education. He went to play in the minors and then went to play for the Detroit Tigers and won them the World Series. After he got traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates he played well, then retired and went to the Hall of Fame, the first Jewish player to make it to the Hall of Fame.
