    From Joan Walsh

    Wow. I love our readers. But every once in a while, I feel...surprised. This is a great, only-in-Salon story, in my opinion. I never expected a debate about it. Please click on the link in the Kevin Youkilis item for one of my favorite ways into the story.

    For complicated reasons, there aren't too many Jews in baseball. For some of the reasons why, read the article. Thanks to Jonah Keri for a great piece.
