Hank Greenberg
FameRank: 4

"Henry Benjamin "Hank" Greenberg", nicknamed ""Hammerin' Hank,"" ""Hankus Pankus"" or ""The Hebrew Hammer,"" was an American professional baseball player in the 1930s and 1940s. A member of the sport's National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum/Hall of Fame, he was one of the premier power hitters of his generation and is widely considered as one of the greatest Slugging percentage/sluggers in baseball history.

His 58 home runs in 1938 in baseball/1938 equaled Jimmie Foxx's mark for the most in one season by anyone but Babe Ruth, and tied Foxx for the most between Ruth's record 60 in 1927 in baseball/1927 and Roger Maris' 61 in 1961 in baseball/1961.

A first baseman primarily for the Detroit Tigers, Greenberg was a five-time Major League Baseball All-Star Game/All-Star and two-time American League Major League Baseball Most Valuable Player Award/MVP. He was the first major league player to hit 25 or more home runs in a season in each league, and remains the American League (AL) record-holder for most RBIs in a single season by a right-handed batter (183 in 1937, a 154-game schedule). He lost almost four years in the prime of his career serving in the U.S. Armed Forces in World War II.

Bill brought baseball into the 20th century. Before Bill, baseball was just win or lose. But he made it fun to be at the ballpark.
