Guess that leaflet "Famous Jewish Sports Legends" is going to get a little longer.

wow, good going.

I’ve not really followed the World Baseball Classic in the past, but noted that countries such as Italy, Israel, South Africa, the Netherlands, have had teams competing.

I never realized that baseball was popular in some of these countries. I’ve always thought of Latin America and the Far East as countries outside North America as being the foreign countries where baseball is a big sport.

Interesting. This sounds almost like Michigan’s run through the Big 10 b-ball tournament, this year.

It started off with their plane sliding off the runway and crashing as they left for the tournament:

I’m not a Michigan fan, but this year, I might just have to be!

If Koufax were playing and in his prime, no one would have a chance against Israel
