I was watching the Tigers-Red Sox last week, and on the MLB pakcage we got the NESN broadcast from New England. Denis Leary and Lenny Clarke (also on "Rescue Me") visited the booth to do a little "commentary" and to raise money for Leary's foundations for firefighters. Informed that Kevin Youkilis is Jewish, Leary went to town; it was really wonderful and now it's turned up on YouTube. Watch it quick, because apparently NESN keeps taking it down. If you want to hear audio of the entire inning they were in the booth, here's the link.

Youkilis is a hero to both both Red Sox and Moneyball Nations. Ergo he is among my least favorite players ever.

A good movie about a Jewish sports hero is The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg.
That was hilarious. I listened to the whole freaking thing.
I can't believe that neither Hud nor Gaines, two Tigers fans, one of whom is ostensibly Jewish, has seen the Hank Greenberg film. It's really wonderful, especially for Tiger fans.
