FROM GREENBERG TO GREEN
Shawn Green may already be able to claim the title of Second Greatest Jewish Slugger in History after today's remarkable performance. Green became only the 14th player to ever hit four home runs in a game, and added a double and a single to set a new major league record of 19 total bases in a single game. Today's power surge places the 28-year old Green at 201 career homers, more than halfway to becoming the first MOT to hit over 400. (Although if you give Hank Greenberg back the seasons he lost to World War II, odds are he hits at least 500). Of course, with all this success, Green needs to keep his public speaking skills just as sharp. It's likely that Temple Sisterhoods and local Federations will be booking him as a guest of honor at fund-raisers well into the middle of this century.
Of course this still puts him 13
