Jews in Baseball

The Jewish Community Center of Metropolitan Detroit will
host a free family film, “Jews and Baseball,” at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 25
at The Berman Center for the Performing Arts, 6600 W. Maple Road in West
Bloomfield.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman and starring Sandy Koufax, Larry
King, Kevin Youkilis, Shawn King and Yogi Berra, “Jews and Baseball” was an
Audience Choice Award winner at the Lenore Marwil Jewish Film festival and is
“a warm and enthusiastic documentary,” according to The Los Angeles Times.

Local sports aficionado Dr. Robert Matthews will introduce
the film and, following the movie, present a tour of the new Jewish Sports
Memorabilia Collection, now on display at the JCC in West
Bloomfield. The collection features treasures from past and
present, including a baseball bat signed by Hank Greenberg, jerseys, programs
and photographs.

All seats to this event are general seating only, and
tickets are not required.
