As the 2021 baseball season opened, of the 750 players on active Major League Baseball rosters, eight were Jewish. This is a typical number in recent years. What’s remarkable — even historic — is that three of those eight players are still playing on baseball’s biggest stage, the World Series.For more on baseball and other sports, see the Jewish Telegraphic Agency coverage.Indeed, the three — Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman, Atlanta Braves outfielder Joc Pederson and pitcher Max Fried — represent the largest contingent of Jews ever to take the field in a single World Series.
Good for them. Blacks don't play baseball as much anymore, and we have too many players from the Dominican Republic. Someone has to pick up the slack.
