Hank Greenberg, a special man with an independent spirit, was the first Jewish ballplayer to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Greenberg was a legend in many Jewish households in the 1930s and '40s. His powerful home runs hit during those years were sometimes a dramatic reply to Nazi actions in Europe and to anti-Jewish sentiment in America.

Ira Berkow's stimulating biography will inspire young readers to look at their own conduct and sportsmanship towards others and discover the meaning of standing tall.
