  • Summary

  • For many Jews, spring means Passover is coming. For the Menschwarmers, it means baseball season has started—and we're here to take a look at the top athletes in the MLB right now, including some of the league's highest-paid stars and young guys being shuffled around like baseball cards. We'll catch up on Alex Bregman, Max Fried, Spencer Horwitz, Bubby Rossman and many more. After that, we share some listener excitement about baseball being back, and read a poem submitted to us by Henry Schipper, who wrote a book of Jewish baseball poetry called The Ball Dreams of the Sky.

    But to kick things off, we celebrate the four top Jewish NCAA basketball coaches—Bruce Pearl, Todd Golden and Jon Scheyer—who all brought their teams to the NCAA Final Four. If you missed last week's episode diving deeper into their Jewish identities, catch up here.
