Ron Kaplan to talk Hank Greenberg at Watchung Booksellers Wednesday

Ron Kaplan will talk about his new book “Hank Greenberg in 1938” at Watchung Booksellers, 54 Fairfield St., on Wednesday, June 21, at 7 p.m.
The book chronicles the events of 1938, both on the baseball diamond and the streets of Europe. Kaplan writes: “Though normally hesitant to speak about the anti-Semitism he dealt with, the Jewish slugger still knew the role he was playing for so many of his people, saying ‘I came to feel that if I, as a Jew, hit a home run, I was hitting one against Hitler.’”
