Found March 21, 2009 on Undrafted Free Agent: Yardbarker Blogger Network
JTA, the self-described global news service of Jewish people, has a breaking news story for you: Jews make baseball all-star squads!Yes, it's true. In fact, Jews outnumber Giants on this year's roster. "At least three players of Jewish descent" were named to the roster, though there may be more players with unknown Jewish blood powering their All-Star performances.Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis, who openly identifies as a Jew, was named a starter. Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun was also named a starter, but only identifies himself as half-Jewish. Ian Kinsler, Rangers second baseman and another half-Jew, is a reserve.Thanks, JTA! I was worried that MLB would be Jew-less after Shawn Green retires, but I guess there will always be something[1] drawing Jews to baseball.1. The Undrafted Free Agent would like to apologize for perpetuating hurtful stereotypes. We are just frustrated that anyone found people of Jewish descent making an All-Star team all that newsworthy.
