Baseball and the Torah
 

A couple of weeks ago, the first pitch was thrown in the inaugural season of the Israel Baseball League, the first professional baseball league ever in Israel. In searching for some info about who was involved in creating this league, I came across this site. Stupid, yet hilarious.

Just your basic stretch. :rolleyes:

My grandfather, the cantor, used to tell me that the actual first words of Genesis were "In the big inning..."

It wasn't meant to be serious.

In that case, it is humourous. I had only glanced.

They should have turned a kabbalist loose on it. Surely one of the more gifted ones would find an explanation of the infield fly rule that any layman could understand.

And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Closer, or not;

John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with change-ups; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with high heat and a nasty slider. Luke 3:15-16.

That's hilarious!

Silly - GD had called it "stupid, yet hilarious" in his OP - which it is. :)

An 'omer! Genius stuff. :snap: Who can stand before the Giants? I'm surprised we don't see more signs saying that at games.

Yes, but I wasn't sure if it was stupid because it was serious or stupid intentionally. I (wrongly) interpreted it as the former.
