SubscribeOne sure way to ruin a good thing?
Let the politicians get involved. Former U.S. representative Martin Frost contributed these piece comparing the parallel between the current batch of Jewish ballplayers and members of Congress.
Over the past 15 years, Jewish members of the House and Senate, for the first time, have occupied a number of elected leadership positions in both the House and the Senate, and in this session of Congress, there are six Jewish committee chairs in the Senate and four Jewish committee chairs in the House.
And this season, three of the brightest young stars in the major leagues are Jewish: the Boston Red Sox’s Kevin Youkilis, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Ryan Braun and the Texas Rangers’ Ian Kinsler. All three were on the 2008 baseball All-Star team, and all three are good bets for this year’s team as well.
