And I'm not referring to the Detroit Pistons offense in Games 3 and 4 of the NBA semifinals. Read this about former Met and mow Florida Marlin Mike Jacobs from the Palm Beach Post.
"The Marlins thought they were honoring their Jewish first baseman when they
decided to give away Mike Jacobs T-shirts as part of Jewish Heritage Day at
Dolphin Stadium Sunday afternoon.
"One small problem — Jacobs isn't Jewish, a fact the Marlins would have learned if they'd asked Jacobs himself. Better yet, they could have contacted Martin Abramowitz.
"As records custodian for the non-profit Jewish Major Leaguers Inc., Abramowitz is on a mission to catalogue every Jewish player who ever played in the majors — from Lipman Pike of the 1871 Troy Haymakers to Kevin Youkilis of the 2006 Boston Red Sox."
The article then goes on to talk about this guy and his research. Man, that's like when the Mets had Tom Seaver Day but he was broadcasting for the Yankees the same day and didn't show up.
