In this thread we name (or post pics of) the greatest ballplayers ever to have their names scratched off the line-up card during the high holy days.

His sinker won't sink but Jason Marquis is one of the tribe. (I had no idea about this until last night when a certain Tim Spooneybarger obsessed fan pointed it out to me.)

A story has it that Shawn Green (for yes it is he) once came to bat when both the catcher (?) and the umpire were M.O.T. and greeted them with "Hello, Yids!"

Shawn Green is ashamed of his heritage! Do not hide your face from God's gaze, my son!

Ha, they've got Mike Lieberthal on the pitchers' strikeout list!

I didn't know Brad Ausmus was Jewish. Or Steve Stone (maybe if I regularly heard his broadcasts this would be obvious or something).

Why is Rod Carew not on that site? Do they not count free agents?

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

So what's the active mlb tribal count: Ausmus, Green, Marquis... does Al Levine still pitch? We can't even fill out a line-up card :( I guess our classic list of Koufax and Greenberg and Carew will have to do.

YOU MISSED GABE KAPLER!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 16:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Did Carew actually convert? (his wife is Jewish, I know that)
Lieberthal is active. We can't fill out a lineup card, but we have TWO catchers!

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 16:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Move one to 3rd.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 17:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Hell no! Al Rosen's at 3rd!

― MC Transmaniacon (natepatrin), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Left field?

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 19:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Only on the all-time team, we still need someone at 3rd for the 2004 Jewish All-Stars(xpost)

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 26 October 2004 19:02 (twenty-one years ago)

You can add Scott Schoeneweis, David Eckstein, John Grabow, David Newhan and Kevin Youkilis(!).

"Jews on First"

I think the dream team is complete!

― bnw (bnw), Wednesday, 27 October 2004 01:15 (twenty-one years ago)

Add Mike Koplove to the bullpen too.
