Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>I've seen sellers hawking cards on fleabay as those of jewish players because they have jewish sounding names but here's a new one:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/TACOMA-Minor-League-BASEBALL-PLAYER-Photograph-JEWISH_W0QQitemZ110152733222QQihZ001QQcategoryZ501 29QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/TACOMA-Minor-League-BASEBALL-PLAYER-Photograph-JEWISH_W0QQitemZ110152733222QQihZ001QQcategoryZ501 29QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem</a><br /><br />Or am I just being overly sensitive. A big schnozz is not simply a jewish trait.

Posted By: <b>Steve f</b><p>It's careless profiling to increase profit... I'm guessing WOP. At any rate, good looking fellow. <br /><br />*Grampa is an Italian immigrant and possesed an ample probiscus.

Posted By: <b>Larry</b><p>Someone is obviously reaching here, maybe he should have a nose ring?<br /><br />I am Jewish so I can laugh in the face of this moron's listing, it is actually funny and bold to list this based on the looks of a player as "Jewish". The listing is probably done by a shallow profiteer, and we must all take a humorous approach to this blatant stupidity.

Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>also not jewish<br /><img src="http://www.theage.com.au/ffximage/2005/03/04/cyrano_wideweb__430x275.jpg"><br /><br />I'm willing to dismiss the seller as an idiot. I was more worried I was reading too much into his implication that the player was a 'red sea pedestrian' based on what seemed to be a prominent feature. <br />

Posted By: <b>Bob Pomilla</b><p>Yeah, I'd guess Italian before jewish (my honker isn't exactly a button), also, but any assumption is idiotic. Maybe his nose is like that because he took a 95 mph fastball in it. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>JK</b><p>I emailed the seller - his response:<br /><br />"it was among the items in a small collection of Judaica we purchased a few years back...sports-related items included in the collection were two photographs of Sandy Koufax and one of Hank Greenberg, plus this unidentified Tacoma ballplayer."
