Summary: Wikipedia.org Even though this episode is about Hank Greenberg the Pittsburgh Pirate, it seemed only right to post a picture of Hank Greenberg the Detroit Tiger, the team where he spent the bulk of his career. On April 15, 1947 Greenberg recorded the only RBI in a 1-0 win over the Chicago Cubs. Click the link to hear how much money Greenberg gave up to serve his country during war time. April 15th is also Jackie Robinson Day to commemorate the day he made his Major League debut in 1947. This Day in Baseball History does not wish to look past this event by any means, however we plan to feature Robinson multiple times later this season, including Thursday April 18th. And his number 42 number will be used later this week as part of another story.
