Contrary to common belief there are more that two Jewish major leaguers—250 more or less. The course will introduce you to the Jews currently in the majors but will also focus on the Jewish contribution to major league history, from the first player to sign a major league contract to the composer of Take Me Out To The Ballgame, and to a recent baseball commissioner. Participants will be encouraged to contribute relevant memories in class discussion.
