Jewish American Pastime?

Before this year’s baseball season started, we predicted that the ill-fated Chicago Cubs would go to the World Series for the first time in 70 years. Nearly two months into the season, they lead the National League Central Division by two games, so perhaps it’s time for another prediction: two Jewish Most Valuable Player awards in one season.

If the major league baseball season ended today, Boston Red Sox first baseman Kevin Youklis and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun would be candidates for the American and National League Most Valuable Player Awards, respectively. Youklis might have a better shot at the award because of the likely standing of his team by the end of the season, but Braun is quietly establishing himself as a circumcised version of Albert Pujols.
