When Hank Greenberg, the first jewish baseball superstar, announced in the midst of a pennant race in 1934 that he would not play on Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, or Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, Tiger fans were understandably upset. He later relented somewhat and did play on Rosh Hashanah. Capturing the emotions of the moment, Edgar Guest celebrated it with this poem:
|
Speaking of Greenberg by Edgar A. Guest
The Irish didn't like it when they heard of Greenberg's fame
In July the Irish wondered where he'd ever learned to play.
Came Yom Kippur—holy fast day world-wide over to the Jew— ... this poem appeared in the Detroit Free Press in 1934. |
