The first academic study of baseball as a central element in Jewish-American culture and intellectual life, this work details the impact of the national pastime on the Americanization of the early waves of Jewish immigrants and the on-field and off-field contributions of Jews to the game, as skilled professional players, eloquent interpreters (sportswriters, novelists, broadcasters), and administrators (team owners). Included is an informational and statistical appendix of all Jewish major league ballplayers from the beginnings of professional baseball to the present.
