The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1998)
[[Hank Greenberg, Hall of Famer and 2-time MVP]] The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg (1998) is a documentary film directed, produced and written by Aviva Kempner about Hall of Fame first baseman Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers. A Jewish player who chose not to play on Yom Kippur in 1934 during a heated pennant race, Greenberg experienced a great deal of antisemitism. He nearly broke Babe Ruth's 60 home run record by hitting 58 home runs in 1938.
