    Henry Benjamin "Hank" Greenberg
    (January 1, 1911 – September 4, 1986), nicknamed
    "Hammerin' Hank,"
    "Hankus Pankus"
    or
    "The Hebrew Hammer,"
    was an American and former
    professional baseball
    player. He played in
    Major League Baseball
    (MLB) primarily for the
    Detroit Tigers
    as a
    first baseman
    in the 1930s and 1940s. A member of the
    Baseball Hall of Fame
    , he was one of the premier power hitters of his generation and is widely considered as one of the greatest
    sluggers
    in baseball history.
    [1]
    He served over four years in the
    United States Army
    and in
    World War II
    which took place during his major league career.
    Greenberg played twelve seasons on the Detroit team where he was an
    All-Star
    for four seasons
    [a]
    and an
    American League
    (AL)
    Most Valuable Player
    two seasons.
    [2]
    His 58 home runs for the Tigers in
    1938
    equaled
    Jimmie Foxx
    's
    1932
    mark for the most in one season by anyone but
    Babe Ruth
    , and tied Foxx for the most home runs between Ruth's record 60 in
    1927
    and
    Roger Maris
    ' record 61 in
    1961
    . Greenberg was the first major league player to hit 25 or more home runs in a season in each league, and remains the AL record-holder for most RBIs in a single season by a right-handed batter (183 in 1937, a 154-game schedule).
    Greenberg was the first
    Jewish
    superstar in American team sports.
    [3]
    He attracted national attention in
    1934
    when he refused to play on
    Yom Kippur
    , the holiest holiday in
    Judaism
    , even though he was not particularly observant religiously and the Tigers were in the middle of a pennant race. In 1947, Greenberg signed a contract with a ,000 raise to a record ,000
    [2]
    before being sold to the
    Pittsburgh Pirates
    where he played his final MLB season that year. He was one of the few opposing players to publicly welcome
    Jackie Robinson
    that year to the major leagues

    Shipping and Packaging details: I ship everything with cardboard backing. Additionally, I slip all autographed photos inside sturdy photo-protective sleeves. Payment details: Typically, I ship paypal payments right away. PAYPAL is recommended. International shipping will be higher as all international orders go through the Global Shipping program.  How I obtained my autographs, and why I promise a FULL MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE: As a kid, from roughly the years 1965 to 1973, and later from 1974-the present, I have amassed an enormous collection of autographed sports and celebrity memorabilia. In most cases, using Jack Smalling's baseball address lists and other assorted address lists, I wrote to both active and retired baseball players, sending them letters, requests for signatures, and self-addressed-stamped envelopes. This is how I obtained thousands of autographs. I also obtained many autographs in person at area parks and hotels.In the 1980's and 1990's, I travelled the country doing shows (20 National Conventions) and would buy quantities of autographs through player signings. I have every reason to believe that all of the autographs I'm selling are absolutely authentic. I stand by every item I sell. Upon purchasing an item from me through eBay, you may return that item, in the condition in which I shipped it to you, within 14 days of receipt of that item if you are not satisfied with the item.   I am selling each item "as is", per the guarantee I've promised above. All the old time autograph dealers know me and the professional authenticators will vouch for my reputation as well. I do this on a part time basis, so sometimes emails take a day. I have worked hard for my feedback rating. The last thing I want to do is damage my credibility, so if you have legitimate concerns about any item you win from me on eBay, I'll make every effort to remedy the situation to your satisfaction. PLEASE NOTE: Most items come with certificates of authenticity from outside companies (JSA and PSA predominantly; they are the best). I have spent lots of money with third party authenticators and have had very few come back without passing. Sincerely, Joe Binder , Downers Grove, Illinois
