Shlep me out to the ball game....Cooperstown celebrates MOTs with low ERAs and high RBIs.

On August 29-30, the Museum will welcome several former major leaguers to discuss the role of American-Jewish athletes in baseball. On Monday, August 30, at 8:30 a.m., a skills clinic for youths ages six to 13, featuring the former major leaguers, will be held at the Clark Sports Center. Among those scheduled to participate include: Ron Blomberg, Mike Epstein, Joe Ginsberg, Ken Holtzman, Richie Scheinblum, Norm Sherry and Bob Tufts. On both days, noted authors and scholars will discuss a number of Jewish baseball subjects, including the legacies of Hall of Fame members Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax, and the life of legendary American spy and major league catcher Moe Berg. Admission to all programs is free for Museum visitors, but tickets are required and seating is limited.
