Includes Reception
Jews and Baseball: A Love Story explores the connection between Jewish
Americans and baseball. More than a film about sports, it is a story of immigration,
assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions, and the
shattering of stereotypes. Interviews include fans, writers, and especially
players including Al Rosen, Kevin Youkilis, Shawn Green, Bob Feller, Yogi
Berra, and a rare interview with the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy
Koufax. Fans Ron Howard and Larry King speak of the meaning of Jewish
ballplayers in their own lives, while historians and even two baseball loving
rabbis relate the stories of Jewish players to the turbulent history of
the last century. These powerful personal and historical stories are interwoven
with an extraordinary collection of rare archival footage and photos.
USA, 2010, 91 min.
Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story is an
engaging story featuring great drama, unforgettable games, and interviews with
such legends as Al Rosen, Kevin Youkilis, Shawn Green,Yogi Berra and more!
