He was one of the great ballplayers of all-time. An outfielder-first baseman who spent most of his Hall of Fame career with the Detroit Tigers. After his playing career ended he was a manager and executive (for the Pirates, if my memory is correct).

He is widely regarded as the best Jewish position player of all time.

Answer 5

He wasn't the 1st Jewish ballplayer!! lol He was probably one of the 1st great Jewish Ballplayers though that played during the war time era.  You can say that he was the Jew's Babe Ruth.  Big strong power hitter that put up some of the greatest offense numbers in a short span of years before having to go serve his country in WWII.  He along with Ted Williams, Bob Feller, Joe DiMaggio are histories .."what if" stars meaning "what if" that had played those seasons due to the war?? There career numbers could make been far greater plus they all missed years during their prime.  Greenberg probably hits 500 plus HR's, Ted Williams probably hits 675-700 HR's and has the greatest offense career numbers ever in the game.
