Film: Jews and Baseball

Director Peter Miller, author Ira Burkow and narrator Dustin Hoffman trace Jewish involvement in the history of the sport from the game’s earliest days, through the tumultuous war years, to today’s All-Star games. By analyzing various stages in this history, including how the legendary Sandy Koufax pioneered rights for players and Hank Greenberg’s support of Jackie Robinson, the documentary demonstrates how Jews shaped baseball, and how baseball shaped them.
