History denotes July 4th, 1927, as the date
that baseball was first introduced in Israel. The event
took place at the Sephardic Orphanage in Jerusalem when the governess of the orphanage handed out baseball equipment to her charges. The children took the baseballs, dropped them to the ground, and started kicking them, which was all they knew to do with a ball until that time.

Ya know what Sandy Koufax, Tom Seaver, Pedro
Martinez, Nolan Ryan, Rick Reuschel and Jack Armstrong share

There is one name managers hate to hear
mentioned when talking about their pitchers: Dr. James Andrews.
Because seeing Andrews likely means that a member of their pitching staff has a serious arm problem and, more often then not, requires Ulnar Collateral Ligament reconstruction surgery, as it is known in medical jargon. Or, as it is more commonly known, Tommy John surgery. The procedure ...
