Kuehnertz Aviva was a very major player for many years in trying to bring Major League Baseball back to Washington.

So I met her long before there was a big train baseball or anything.

And I so admire what she does is she does these fabulous documentaries on underappreciated Jewish sports figures.

And in watching her documentary on Hank Greenberg, I realized that, you know, Hank Greenberg belongs with Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente.

in any list of people who were real barrier breakers he suffered more on the field in terms of verbal and physical abuse maybe than jackie now i'm not comparing it with how jackie suffered in jim crow america but on the field hank had it just as bad and so i watched that documentary and we had retired jackie robinson's number we had retired roberto clemente's number from Big Train.

And I thought we should retire number five for Hank Greenberg.

And he wanted one of those games to be in Bethesda against Bruce Adams' big train team.
