Jewish Major Leaguers cards celebrate Greenberg

The 2008 edition of Jewish Major Leaguers is out.
This year marks the 75th Anniversary of Hank Greenberg's rookie year. To commemorate the anniversary, Pulitzer-Prize winning sportswriter (and Greenberg biographer) Ira Berkow has written a subset of 10 Hank Greenberg cards, covering his career and life, including his years as a minor-leaguer, his World Series and All-Star Game records, his military service, the Yom Kippur story, his life as a baseball executive, and his encounter with Jackie Robinson.
The 2008 set will also be celebrating Ryan Braun, the first-ever Jewish Rookie of the Year, and pioneer owner Barney Dreyfuss, who will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this summer.
The set also will have cards of all current Jewish major leaguers plus updated career leaders cards and the all-time roster.
It is a 50-card set, packaged in a clear plastic case suitable for display.
The edition is limited to 5,000 sets. The cost of a set is $36 which includes S&H. A limited number of uncut sheets, perfect for framing, will be available for $106.
Checks should be made payable to JML and sent to 104 Greenlawn Ave., Newton, MA 02459.
