jogar84 Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Former MLB'ers Art Shamsky, Ken Holtzman, and Ron Blomberg will manage in Israel's pro baseball league. At first I thought, is this a joke? From Matza balls to baseballs! http://www.israelbaseballleague.com/ Someone should mod this for MVP, no?

moeberg Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Actually, the first team has been named by the league: The Jerusalem Gefilte Fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardcoreLegend Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I guess they had to find something to do with all that fence the UN was making them tear down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Actually, the first team has been named by the league: The Jerusalem Gefilte Fish. :lmao: I've actually heard about this a couple of times before. I know that Israel might have a WBC Team in '08, which means they could have players like Shawn Green or Brad Ausmus. However, here's one thing I noticed: If you look on the poll, it says "What do you think of the IBL's plan to end tie games with a Home Run Derby?" WHAT?! That's awful! Isn't there always that thing called extra innings? It seems they're just trying to get some people interested in this rather than having a legitimate league which I think is pretty annoying... Still, this sounds pretty cool. I might even create their uniforms if I can get some good pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Unit Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Actually, the first team has been named by the league: The Jerusalem Gefilte Fish. ROFL The first thing that came to mind was Rush Hour when Chris Tucker was on the plane arguing how to say that. Gefilte Fish! Interesting that they're starting a league, it's good to spread baseball more internationally, soon there could be talented players coming directly from these countries baseball is starting to grow in.

mflv Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 Alright, let's hear it for Matzoh Ball! Maybe some of the Arab countries can form teams too and they can take the fight to the ballfields and stop killing each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medric822 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I always thought wars would be fought better if the leaders from each country fought it out in a ring. But on the diamond is a much better idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abc006 Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 I always thought wars would be better if they didn't exist at all... anyway, unfortunately I doubt they'll have it on ESPN. It's probably much too small, and ESPN probably thinks there's not a big enough market. They also probably see it as the same as like the Australian Baseball League or the Mongolian Baseball League (Though I somehow doubt one exists...). Still, I hope it will be accessible somehow - probably on the radio in Israel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
