There are more than 1.7 million Jews living in New York City. One of them will now be wearing Mets blue. He’s Green, Shawn Green, a two-time all-star traded away from the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Mets hope he’ll bolster their outfield lineup with his hitting and fielding.
Another famous Jewish ballplayer was the Dodgers hurler, Sandy Koufax. He played by the book, the Old Testament book, and did not play on the Jewish High Holidays. Shamsky didn’t address that today. But in the past he has sat out on Yom Kippur.
