On this date in 1986, Hank Greenberg passed away at age 75.
"When Hank began playing in the minor leagues, a player from the South said, 'Hank, people tell me you're Jewish, but I can't believe it.' Hank said, 'Why?' And the other player said, 'Because I heard all Jews have horns in their head, like the devil.'" - Ira Berkow, Greenberg biographer
