And another quote (not in that article):
"Only one fellow blew the shofar yesterday so you could hear it. He was Hank Greenberg. He blew the shofar twice, and the ears of the Boston Red Sox are still ringing. Blast no. 1 from his shofar was a homer...Blast no. 2 from Hank's shofar was a home run... will you please take me home shofar?"
Stuart Bell Cleveland Press
For anyone interested, there is a wonderful chapter in "Baseball History from Outside the Lines: A Reader" which discusses how Greenberg dealt with his dilemma and how the press decided to report the struggle. It's a fantastic discussion of America, Religion and the press.
