“I’m glad to see that the A’s have finally done this,” said Rick Concoff, an A’s fan and season ticket plan holder since 1977, and a longtime Jewish educator and camp director in Sonoma County. “It’s a great tribute to the Jewish community"

I see it as an embarrassment rather than a tribute. I've been attending baseball games since the early '70s as well, and never once thought to myself....."gee, wouldn't it be just wonderful if the team would honor us Jews. It's just so damn disrespectful that they haven't done so!"

I see it like this -- once you have a "heritage day" or "cultural history month" or other PC timeslot named after either your religious, cultural, or racial group, you're in bad shape. Again, an embarrassment.
