Jewish baseball history discussion

[Archive]

I know that Jewish ballplayers were discriminated in thje past as were blacks but is a seminar necessary to discuss this as Jewish Ballplayers have become common using the Red Sox as an example. Why don't we just focus on the best players in baseball. I remember when I heard Rod Carew was Jewish and I did not celebrate his religion. My best friend who happens to be Jewish played 2 years in the NFL and played on the same Florida team as Emmit Smith and Trace Armstrong and he hates the fact that his being Jewish has been brought up. I think that a persons religion should have no bearing on his standing whether Christian, Buddhist,Muslim or Jewish.I will always root for my players based on my team. CN
