Known as "the Hebrew Hammer" as well as the original "Hammerin' Hank," Hank Greenberg had a lengthy career that saw him as one his era's premier power hitters. Primarily known for his time with the Detroit Tigers, he was a four-time AL homerun leader, four-time All-Star, two-time league MVP (for the AL) and two-time World Series champion (1935 & 1945, both with the Tigers), and his 1937 season, which saw him drive in 183 runs, stands as the most in a single season in the AL by a right-handed batter, as well as the third most in a single season ever, behind only Hack Wilson and Lou Gehrig. He was elected into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1956.
