In case anyone is interested, following Jewish athletes, though not to the point of obsession, is one of my hobbies.  Here's a list of Jewish baseball players, to the best of my knowledge, with the season about to kick off.

1.  Shawn Green.  Mets.
2.  David Newhan.  Mets.
3.  Jason Marquis.  Cubs
4.  Scott Schoenweis.  Mets.
5.  Jason Hirsh.  Rockies.
6.  Kevin Youkillis.  Red Sox.
7.  Mike Lieberthal.  Dodgers.
8.  Brad Ausmus.  Astros.
9.  Ryan Braun.  Brewers.
10.  Craig Breslow.  Red Sox.
11.  Gabe Kapler.  Now retired, and minor league manager.  Red Sox.
12.  Ian Kinsler.  Rangers.
13.  John Grabow.  Pirates.
14.  Scott Feldman.  Rangers.
15.  Adam Stern.  Orioles.
16.  Adam Greenberg.  Royals.

Hey Yacov,

Lieber is not from what I know.  I'm sure it would have come up with him playing for the Yankees a while back.  I didn't know Lieberthal's father was a self-hater, sad to hear this, but not that surprised.  Take care.
