1930s in Newark,” the memoir centers
on Izenberg’s relationship with his father
Harry, a World War I veteran and former
minor league baseball player.

Izenberg’s father emigrated to the
United States as a child, leaving Lithuania
with his family to escape anti-Jew-
ish pogroms. As his sportswriter son
recounts it, Harry discovered baseball
even before he could speak English.

The Izenbergs’ love of baseball
transcended all. When Jerry got his fi rst
baseball glove at 10 years old, it was
a milestone that in his father’s eyes
surpassed even his bar mitzvah.

“He had given me a lifetime gift — a
simple game and a simple shared love
for it,” Izenberg writes in the memoir.

“It remains there, bright and shining in
memory eighty-three years later."
The pair’s passion for baseball was
closely intertwined with their Judaism.

Growing up in Newark in the 1930s and
‘40s, Izenberg was a fan of the New York
Giants baseball team. They featured a

lineup fi lled with Jewish players: Harry
Danning, Harry Feldman and Sid Gordon.

But in the pantheon of Jewish baseball
during Izenberg’s childhood, there was a
clear king, and — much to the chagrin of
Izenberg’s father — he played in Detroit.

Hank Greenberg, the greatest Jewish
hitter in baseball history, was at the peak
of his Tigers career from 1935-1940,
winning two most valuable player awards
on his way to the Hall of Fame.

At the Izenbergs’ dinner table, there
were only a few select topics discussed:
baseball and the Nazis.

In 1938, Greenberg was chasing Babe
Ruth’s single-season record of 60 home
runs, which Ruth had set in 1927 with the
Yankees. Greenberg would ultimately
reach 58 homers, while drawing several
walks in the season’s fi nal games.

“My dad was convinced that was
antisemitism,” Izenberg said. “And I said
to him, later on when I got into the
business and I knew people, ‘Did it
ever occur to you that the guys who
pitched against him didn’t want to be
the guy who threw his 60th home run
ball? They’d be linked to him forever.’ My

father said, ‘That’s an interesting theory,
but you’re full of crap.’”
Of all the anecdotes Izenberg shares
about his father, one non-sports-related
scene stands out.

One Saturday in 1939, Izenberg and
his father went to the Newsreel Theatre
in Newark, where audiences gathered
to watch news and sports highlights of
the week. That day, the theater showed
footage of the infamous Madison Square
Garden rally held by the German-
American Bund, the American Nazi
organization. Izenberg remembers leaving the
theater with his visibly angry father. His
father talked about how the Nazis — or,
as he called them, mamzers, Yiddish
slang for “bastards” — had to be stopped.

“I’m an 8-year-old kid, and I say, ‘But
dad, they’re in Germany,’” Izenberg
recalled. “And he looks at me, he says,
‘They’re not in Germany, they’re here.’
And he was right.”
Despite the anti-Jewish sentiment that
was ever-present in his youth, Izenberg
said he has not faced antisemitism in
his journalism career. As a columnist

ESTATE OF JER’MYA THOMAS,
DECEASED. Late of Philadelphia County, PA
LETTERS of ADMINISTRATION on the
above Estate have been granted to the
undersigned, who request all persons
who has covered just about every sport,
Izenberg has received his fair share of
criticism — most notably having his car
windows smashed by two men who did
not approve of Izenberg’s defense of
Muhammad Ali when the boxer stirred
controversy by supporting the Nation
of Islam and refusing to enlist in the
military. Izenberg has written about social
issues often throughout his career —
especially race relations — a tendency
that he said is inspired by the value of
tikkun olam. It’s an idea he learned from
Rabbi Joachim Prinz, the activist leader
who spoke just before Martin Luther King
Jr. at the 1963 March on Washington.

After leaving Nazi Germany, Prinz
settled in Newark, on the same block as
the Izenbergs. He would become a close
family friend and even off ered to help
Izenberg prepare for his bar mitzvah,
even though his family belonged to a
diff erent synagogue.

Izenberg said he is guided by tikkun
olam, “because I know [Prinz would]
want me to keep it in the back of my
mind, and my father would, too.” ■
