Description
Long before Hank Greenberg earned recognition as baseball’s greatest Jewish player, Jews had developed a unique, and very close, relationship with the American pastime. In the late nineteenth century, as both the American Jewish population and baseball’s popularity grew rapidly, baseball became an avenue by which Jewish immigrants could assimilate into American culture. Beyond the men (and, later, women) on the field, in the dugout, and at the front office, the Jewish community produced a huge base of fans and students of the game.

This important book examines the interrelated histories of baseball and American Jews to 1948—the year Israel was established, the first full season that both major leagues were integrated, and the summer that Hank Greenberg retired. Covered are the many players, from Pike to Greenberg, as well as the managers, owners, executives, writers, statisticians, manufacturers and others who helped forge a bond between baseball and an emerging Jewish culture in America. Key reasons for baseball’s early appeal to Jews are examined, including cultural assimilation, rebellion against perceived Old World sensibilities, and intellectual and philosophical ties to existing Jewish traditions. The authors also clearly demonstrate how both Jews and baseball have benefited from their relationship.

Should help me finalize my all-time Jewish All Star team-which reminds me-was Heinnie Manush Jewish?

Serious question, but how does one pronounce the name "Heinie"? I've always wondered.

Great web site. So my lineup has Koufax pitching, Boudreau at SS, Rosen at 3rd, we'll put Greenberg in outfield along with either Blomberg or Epstein, with other playing 1st. Moe Berg is our catcher, when he is not busy spying on the Germans.

Ruben Amaro, Jr? Good Jewish boy! (Actually, I have an Irish last name, but mom is a Levin, so here I am.)

Certainly will pick up this book!

Harry "The Horse" Danning or Johnny Kling would be better catchers. I'd leave Greenberg at 1st and put Sid Gordon, Shawn Green and Gabe Kapler out there.
P: Sandy Koufax
C: Harry Danning
1B: Hank Greenberg
2B: Buddy Myer
SS: Lou Boudreau
3B: Al Rosen
