baseball season begins.

baseball season begins.
Ford Prick, President of the
National League, reiterated to me
There was no time in the history
of modern baseball when Jews
did not sparkle in the major
leagues" The popular prexy of
the senior circuit knows whereof
he speaks.
Although the greatest Jewish
baseball player in history, Hank
Greenberg, is a soldier in khaki,
there are a number of Jewish lads
now cavorting on the ball fields
of major league clubs. One of
them may become as fine a player
and as honorable a citizen as
Greenberg. Hank was one of the
topnotchers. But the opportunity
is there.
Here are the boys on major
league teams as the sixteen clubs
line up at the post:
New York Giants of the Nat
ional League: Harry banning
veteran catcher; Harry Feldman
yearling twirler.
Chicago Cubs of the N. l.
Seymour (Cy) Block, husky key
stone sacker, who has brilliant
future before him.
Cleveland Indians of the Amer.
lean League: Harry Eisenstat
veteran southpaw pitcher.
That's the current list. Nearly
all of them, except for banning
and Eisenstat, are in the rookie
stage. "Stardor1 will come tt
many of them," Prick pointed out
adding: "And that's to be ex-
pected, for they will only be fol.
lowing tradition"
Let's look at the archives. ''The
really and truly first great Jew
ish ballplayer," the National
League chief declared, wv a S
Johnny King. The brainiest catch
err in an era which featured in
The Southern Jewish weekly. [volume] (Jacksonville, Fla.) 1939-1992, 1942-04-10
ST. AUGUSTINE
OLDEST CITY IN THE
UNITED STATES

Moe, never first-class ballplayer,
was so well thought of by the
Washington Administration that
he was asked to take a leading
part in cementing the goodnight
Dor policy between the United
States and the Latin American
nations. That's compliment to
Moe, to baseball and, indirectly
to the Jewish people.
In talking about the National
League players, Prick emphasized
that there is no need for Jewish
apologetics. "Jews," he said, ARE
as good as anyone. There's no
need to walk around with a chip
on your shoulder" was his way of
putting it. why, there isn't a
nicer fellow than Harry banning
or a better American than Hank
Greenberg. Just keep writing a.
bout the Jewish players as though
they are American athletes-for
that's just what they are. And"
he smiled, well be grateful for
any other Jewish major leaguers."
Prick, a sports writer who
worked his way up to the top of
the baseball heap, stressed the
Jews now active in the National
League. Harry banning, he point
ed out, is the best of the Jewish
guys in the game. Harry" he
said, first won acclaim when
Carl Hubbell, one of the greatest
pitchers of our era, asked that
Harry receive his slants. That
sold Bill Terry on Harry the Horse,
as he is affectionately called
Now that Mel OFT is the Giant
pilot, Harry is in more strongly
than ever, for Mel thinks that
Harry is the best mask-and-mitt
man in the League" Frick ex-
planned.
Another Giant Jew is Hank
Feldman, up from Jersey City,
who has a classy assortment of
hooks, curves, slants and what
have you. Hank pitched a shut
out in his first complete game
with the Giants last September.
OFT remembers that game. Con-
sequently, Feldman has survived
the first paring-and seems a
likely prospect for the entire sea-
son.
Cy Block of the Cubs is, accod-
ing to the N. L. boss, "a great

that Cy has something on the ball.
A smashing hitter, Cy is tall for

but he can cover ground Clearly.
which is what is demanded of him
The Cubs need an infielder-and
Cy can fit the bill.

school phenom, never realized his
potentialities. A. good relief pitch.
er, he seemed to wilt with the
rest of the Indians, come the dog
days of August. Still, he's val
liable man to have around, as en-
envy batsmen have already found
out. He is particularly effective
at Yankee Stadium in the begin
ming of the year. Perhaps this
seasccl he'll hold on to his effect

Baseball is Americas national
,,octime and Jews are as much a
rart of the game as are hot dogs
and pop. The diamond sport is
,anlete with Jewish stars such as
Hank banning, Hank Greenberg,
Johnny Killing, Buddy Myer and
others who, through the years,
have hung up great records. They
have made clear that baseball is

'aspirant has a rifle arm, a keen
hating eye, speed afoot and plen-
ty of hustle.

side baseball, King starred on the
chicago Cub teams of Tinker-to-
Evers-to-C Chance fame. He later
became a well-to-do baseball club
owner. But he is remembered for
his brilliance behind the bat. And
King opened the field to other
great Jewish stars, "Frick said.
Benny Kauff was another Jew
lsh headliner. Popular New York
Giant player, Benny was one of
the leading batters of his day.
Which brings to mind the sterling
qualities of Charles Solomon
Buddy Myer, Washington Sena-
tor second-sacker, who was one
of the American League batting
kings.
Another of the Jewish stars who
is finished in the Big Leagues is
Hank Greenberg, who deserves a
paragraph to himself. Hank has
been written about so much that
1t is kind of wasteful to harp on
his diamond career when he is
doing all he can to be a good SOL
der. But it is only just to point
out that Hank is probably the out
standing right-handed slugger in
the history of the game, barring
possibly Jimmy Foxx and Rogers
Hornsby. Hank has had a season
is which he hit So homers. (Babe
Ruth won Immortality when he
slammed out go round-trippers in
one year! and the Babe was a
scuthpaw hitter, which means that
Hanks feat was a harder one, for
baseball parks are so constructed
that lefties have comparatively
easy time walloping them over the
fence.) Hank has also driven in
1873 runs in one year, which makes
baseball veterans blink in amaze
ment. Hank ranks with such
right-handed hitters as Rogers
Hornsby, just elected to the Hall
of Fame, and Hack Wilson, who
startled the baseball world when
he drove out Sc homers in 1880.
Hans Wagner, peerless Pirate
shortstop, a rightie hitter, led the
National League in batting for
eight years. Hank has been a
one-man team for the Detroit
Tigers for so many years that
when he got into the Army the
Tigers just fell apart at the
seams.
And Hank was a hustler. First
an initial sacker, he shifted to
the outfield when team policies
directed the move. Without COM
planning he made the hard switch
and was voted the best outfield-
er in the League that year. AL
though Greenberg continues to
state in the public prints that he'll
never play ball again-hope ever
springs eternal in the baseball
fans heart. Some day Hank may
lead the Tigers to another flag.
