　You don’t have to be a professional historian to wonder if this story checks out in
every detail, but it felt true in the family re-telling. It played its part in confirming to
grandchildren of immigrants that they were Americans who shared heroes with neighbors
and strangers. My great-grandfather, Ellis, who took his grandchildren on this fishing
excursion, was born to a Jewish family in Russia. He came to the United States in 1885,
aged 13. He followed a charmed path of successful assimilation.

　The May/June edition of American Jewish Life Magazine published an essay
titled “Why Every American Jew Should Love the Boston Red Sox and Hate the New
York Yankees.” The gist of this account was that the Red Sox have fielded a larger
number of Jewish players, by far, than the Yankees: “the Yankees have had the luxury for
decades of sitting in the heart of America’s largest Jewish population…In spite of this,
there have been a relatively small number of Jewish players in pinstripes.”
