Batta Batta Batta Batta….Swing!

If this article proves accurate, then get the beer a chillin’ and throw those ballpark franks onto the grill.

Ex-Yankee turned manager Ron Blomberg is headed this way to see about making a dent in Israeli society: He’s bringing baseball (or the closest thing to it) with. Although the article is filled to the brim with Blomberg quotes, aside from saying he’s bringing over baseball and that he’ll manage Beit Shemesh’s Blue Sox team, it’s hard to decipher exactly what his plan of action is…

And isn’t there a fast pitch league already in full swing? Yes there is. My friend Goose Gillette is one of the founders.

But in the interim, have a quote:
“All of the Americans that are over in Israel miss the game of baseball. I think they will support it,” Blomberg affirmed.

I think, Mr. B., you are right.
