Temple Emanuel Brotherhood SYNOPSIS This film brings to life the contributions of Jewish major leaguers and explores the special meaning that baseball has had in the lives of American Jews. More than a film about sports, it is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions, and the shattering of stereotypes. To view trailer: http://7thart.com/press/jews%20and%20baseball/Trailer/JAB_Trailer_H.264.mov We meet Andy Cohen, a diminutive second baseman brought to the New York Giants to attract Jewish fans; the powerful slugger Hank Greenberg, who transformed the nation’s perception of Jews; the enigmatic catcher and WWII spy Moe Berg; the fiercely proud all-star third baseman Al Rosen; Sandy Koufax, the greatest left-handed pitcher in the history of baseball and a hero to generations of Jews for not pitching on Yom Kippur; players‚ union leader Marvin Miller, who profoundly changed the economics of baseball; and modern-day stars like Shawn Green and Kevin Youkilis, who many fans do not even know are Jews and may be the best evidence of how fully Jews have assimilated into the American mainstream. An articulate and passionate group of interviewees includes former ballplayers Yogi Berra, Ron Blomberg, Bob Feller, Shawn Green, Sandy Koufax (who consented to a rare interview), Elliott Maddox, Al Rosen, Marv Rotblatt, and Kevin Youkilis, as well as executives, writers, and especially fans, including filmmaker Ron Howard, author Roger Kahn, and journalist Larry King. Their stories will be intercut with dramatic and never before- seen film clips and photos of great Jewish players, unforgettable games, and the broad sweep of American history during the past century. The script is by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Ira Berkow.
