Major League Baseball’s First Israeli Pitch On Sunday

The Israel Baseball League plays ball on Sunday, marking the arrival of American major league baseball to the Jewish state. Six teams will play a 45-game season with players recruited from around the world. Managers include well-known Jewish baseballers from past years, including the Mets’ Art Shamsky and the Cubs’ Ken Holtzman. Organizers hope the level of play will equal American "A" ball.
