Jewish baseball history discussion
Posted By: CN
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 |

there are sociological and historical perspectives that figure in, albeit not for you. As Jews were struggling to establish a secure place in the fabric of American society, there were numerous events and circumstances defining us as unwelcome outsiders. In the T206 days, it must have been a thrill to see the occasional success story in a venue so thoroughly American as Major League Baseball. Barney Pelty, "the Yiddisher Curver," for example, probably helped young Jews to feel more hope for a bright future in the midst of a poverty-stricken, tenement existence. |
