What a great man as well as ball player. Loyal to our country with lengthy military service.

[@soyouthinkyouknowbaseball]

Yes, he was a great man -- loyal to his country and his faith. Incredible human being.

"The Original Hammerin' Hank!"

[@soyouthinkyouknowbaseball]

Yes. And thanks for remembering. Nowadays people always think of another great player as Hammerin' Hank. I say both of them were legends and deserve the nickname.

Nice tribute to a great man, one of my grandfather's favorite players. It's a shame he came up short in his chase of Ruth's HR record in 1938. Nobody said it but most everyone suspected pitchers refused to pitch to him down the stretch because he was a Jew. Hammering Hank, a true American patriot and one helluva ballplayer.

I remember reading about that years ago, when some players allegedly said they wouldn't let a Jew break Ruth's record. It's sad really.

Wish we had him in Chicago. Seems all the power hitters go to N.Y. or Boston
