Summary
Editor in chief of Gourmet magazine Ruth Reichl and former deputy commissioner of baseball Stephen Greenberg on this archive edition of Fresh Air. Ruth Reichl's is a former restaurant critic for The New York Times and the author of Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table, a memoir of her lifelong passion for food, which was a best seller. She continues her story with the new book Comfort Me with Apples: More Adventures at the Table.
Attorney Stephen Greenberg discusses his father, legendary baseball player Hank Greenberg, who faced bigotry in the 1930s and '40s as America's first Jewish baseball star. Greenberg played first base and outfield for the Detroit Tigers from 1933-46 (he helped the Tigers win the penant four times) and for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1947. The documentary about him, The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg, will air on Cinemax this month. (Original broadcast dates: March 14, 2000 and July 29, 1998)
