Tom Hufford wrote of Rube Marquard: "We then exchanged Christmas cards for a number of years, until his death (even though he was Jewish!)."
That really caught my eye because I collect the the cards of old Jewish ballplayers. I had never before read anything about Rube Marquard being Jewish. And there was no hint of a Jewish background in his conversation with Larry Ritter in "The Glory of their Times." A little googling turned up the explanation that Rube and his wife were both buried in the Baltimore Hebrew Cemetary, with her family, but that they were both Christian Scientists. Rube must have been a great guy. And this has been a fun thread.
