    Life and Times of Hank Greenberg

    I just watched the 1998 documentary The Life And Times of Hank Greenberg. What a wonderful documentary with lots and lots of old baseball footage. I didn't know that one of Greenberg's nicknames was "Hankus Pankus" and that Greenberg's altering of his baseball glove led to the development of the modern first baseman's glove.

    It is considered a classic among sports documentaries.

    What was really neat was the substantial amount of interview footage of Greenberg himself. He gave quite a bit of insight of the events of his baseball career.
