The Jewish Presence in America’s Pastime
From its infancy in the early 1800s to the formation of the first professional baseball leagues in the 1870s to the birth of the major leagues and into the 21st century, baseball has been America’s pastime. From its inception, baseball has seen strong representation from the Jewish community, in the form of players, umpires, executives, agents, owners, broadcasters and fans. In fact, throughout its history, baseball has consistently helped Jewish people become a part of the American dream, often in the face of rabid antisemitism.
