    Documentary 2010, 60 Minutes
    Narrated by Dustin Hoffman
    Synopsis:
    Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story explores the connection between Jewish Americans and baseball. More than a film about sports, it is a story of immigration, traditions, assimilation, bigotry, heroism and the shattering of stereotypes. Despite hostility from fans and even violence from opposing players, there have been standout Jewish players in every decade. Interviews include players Al Rosen, Kevin Youkilis, Shawn Green, Norm Sherry, Ron Blomberg, Bob Feller, Yogi Berra, and a rare interview with the legendary Hall of Fame pitcher Sandy Koufax. Fans Ron Howard and Larry King and even two baseball-loving rabbis speak of the meaning of Jewish ballplayers in their own lives.
