Howie Eisenberg

Howie Eisenberg’s love affair with handball began when he was 3 watching his idol, Vic Hershkowitz at the Brighton Beach Baths in Brooklyn, N.Y. The youngster quickly developed into a great junior player who prided himself on being the hardest hitter in the game. While the lanky righthander is best known for being a runner-up in national open championships 21 times (four USHA & 2 AAU singles, 15 doubles with 11 different partners), the power hitter with the big serve also has two USHA and three AAU doubles titles to his credit.
