American Jews and

America's Game

 

Compiled from nearly fifty in-depth interviews with players and labor leaders, owners and officials, sportswriters and fans, and even a baseball commissioner, American Jews and America's Game celebrates the relationship between Jews and American baseball. This oral and cultural history explores issues such as growing up Jewish and dealing with Jewish identity, assimilation, intermarriage, future viability, religious observance, anti-Semitism, and Israel.
