Just because we failed volleyball in junior high doesn’t mean we don’t believe in the Jewish athletic spirit. A new exhibit honoring the likes of Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax opened at the Leventhal-Sidman JCC near Boston, and we’re hoping it will make it around the country so we can all check it out. Until then, sportsfans, there’s always The Big Book of Jewish Athletes by Peter S. Horvitz, which includes Jewish athletes from almost every sport under the sun including football, baseball, basketball, hockey, track, fencing, tennis, swimming, soccer, golf, boxing, bullfighting, horse-racing, and even chess.
Bullfighting??? Oy, his poor mother.
