Description
Boston bagel maker Larry Baras wanted to create a pro baseball league in Israel. His idea was met with incredulity and even hostility, he tried it anyway. Among the ballplayers swept up in his unlikely quest: a 41-year-old father of three with a Peter Pan complex; a 27-year-old Brooklyn artist/DJ still finding himself after the disappointment of not being drafted out of college; a 34-year-old father-to-be whose own father fought for Israel’s independence in 1948; and a 22-year-old African-American who was told by a preacher at a young age he would one day “play in front of God’s people.” For tickets and more information: http://support.yiddishbookcenter.org/site/Calendar?id=7722&view=Detail
