Over the course of his career, Greenberg established himself as one of the greatest hitters of his time. He had a career batting average of .313, hit 331 home runs, and had 1,276 runs batted in (RBI). He won two Most Valuable Player awards and seven All-Star selections. In 1938, he narrowly missed breaking Babe Ruth's record for most home runs in a season (60) when he hit 58. Greenberg's reputation as a power hitter led to him being intentionally walked more times than any other player in American League history at the time of his retirement.

Greenberg's baseball career was interrupted by World War II, during which he served in the US Army Air Forces. After returning to the Tigers in 1945, he had one of his best seasons, hitting .311 with 44 home runs and 127 RBI. He led the Tigers to the World Series that year, where they defeated the Chicago Cubs. Greenberg retired in 1947 and was later elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1956. He continued to be involved in baseball after his playing days, serving as an executive with the Cleveland Indians and as part-owner of the Chicago White Sox.
