Between 1870 and 2010, 165 Jewish Americans have played Major
League baseball. This work presents oral histories featuring 23 of
these Jewish major leaguers. From Bob Berman, a catcher for the
Washington Senators in 1918, to Adam Greenberg, an outfielder for
the Chicago Cubs in 2005, the players discuss their careers and
consider how their Jewish heritage has affected their lives in and
out of baseball. Legends like Hank Greenberg and Al Rosen join
lesser-known players to reflect on topics such as the annual
dilemma of whether to play on high holidays, efforts to rebut
anti-Semitism on and off the field, bonds formed with black
teammates also facing prejudice, and personal and Jewish pride in
their accomplishments. Together, these oral histories paint a vivid
portrait of what it was like to be a Jewish major leaguer and shed
light on a fascinating facet of American baseball history.
