The day Greenberg refused to play baseball

Jack’s Winning Words 9/13/13
“No sin is so light that it may be overlooked.  No sin is so heavy that it may not be repented of.”  (Moses Ibn Ezra)  One of the days that has brought me close to my Jewish friends is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.  The need for confession and repentance before G-d is “holy” for both religions.  Hank Greenberg refused to play baseball on that day, even though the Detroit Tigers were in the midst of a pennant chase.    ;-)  Jack
