Zinn's daughter wrote he was Jewish on the record for the HOF? That is pretty solid evidence.
His death certificate [ http://thedeadballera.com/DeathCerti...nn.Guy.DC.pdf] lists his father as Noah Zinn.
Odds are his father was Jewish ahd his kids considered themselves Jewish, if that is what she wrote.
His grave isn't of use; he's buried in a non-denominational graveyard in WV.
The rest is speculation.
I guess if Dan had sold the card for $10,000 Zinn would have been Jewish... |
I had nothing to do with him being Jewish, and could care less either way as I collect the Baltimore News Schedule cards.
You people are way to into the value part of the hobby, I have refused tons of money for cards that I will never be able to sell later for the same amount.
