St. Paul first baseman Lou Limmer is named Rookie of the Year in the American Association after leading the league with 29 homers and 111 RBIs.

I had the pleasure of visiting Limmer at his Old Bridge home a few months before he passed away in 2007.

  • Neat story of 3 Jews at the plate. Wonder if it’s been replicated more recently. Nice write up on Limmer.

  • I believe there was an instance more recently with Jesse Levis catching, Al Clark umping behind the plate, and the batter — whose name escapes me — also a Jew.

  • I think it was Shawn Green when he was with the Blue Jays.
