I think I already commented once, that Sandy Koufax probably did
more to make people aware of Jewishness and the importance of RH and
YK than any other American!

That memory is one of the most enduring.

Hey, what about Hank Greenberg?! I believe he did the same
thing some 30 years before Koufax. And Greenberg faced a lot
of explicit anti-semitism.

You're right, but he wa waaaaaay before my time.

He was slightly before my time. But other than getting
Jews accepted in baseball, I do not think that he got
the importance of RH and YK across.
