70/100
"Despite its limitations, this very conventional documentary is a satisfying study of a man who faced immense challenges with courage and integrity."  Apollo Guide  Dan Jardine

B
"It becomes a look at the social and political climate of America just as much as a baseball biography."  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

B
"Through its carefully researched and selected film clips, it reveals a lot about what America was all about in the early 20th century."  Old School Reviews  John A. Nesbit

7/10
"The film opens and closes with the Marx Brothers singing 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' in Yiddish. And how could you resist something like that?"  Planet Sick-Boy  Jon Popick

4/5
"Brilliant documentary-maker Aviva Kempner has created a gem of a movie to lift the spirit of anyone who cares about baseball -- or heroes."  Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies  Nell Minow

2.5/4
"A bulging photo album of carefully cropped idolization, its saving grace that the affable, unaffected Greenberg appears a worthy recipient of all that devotion."  Film Freak Central  Walter Chaw
