Description
Baseball and Jews are intimately linked. Since baseball took hold in the 1860s, Jewish athletes have participated in the sport. Over the years, Jewish baseball players dealt with antisemitism, bigotry, and discrimination, as did most immigrants. Gradually, as Jews migrated to America, they assimilated, counteracting their stereotyping as cerebral and non-athletic. However, baseball players are seen by the public in a love-hate relationship - ripe for bigotry and antisemitism. The movie Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story deals with these issues and more.
