Today's DJ features a book review of
John Rosengren's new biography of
Hank Greenberg (titled
Hank Greenberg: The Hero of Heroes, not to be confused with his earlier book,
Hammerin' Hank, George Almighty, and the Say Hey Kid) by 2/5's
Justice Mosk. The Greenberg family has a connection to the SoCal legal community: Hank's son is a former partner at
Manatt.
"Rosengren's biography of Greenberg contains the lessons that practice, dedication, principle, and integrity can lead to success. Hank Greenberg belies the notion attributed to Leo Derocher that 'Nice Guys Finish Last.' For those who love sports or history or just a good read, this is a book worth picking up."
