Marathon Pundit takes note of the new Israeli Baseball League. The league's home page is here, and you can order t-shirts and hats and all that stuff. I'm thinking I should stick with the Sox theme and be a Bet Shemesh Blue Sox supporter. Israel National News has a gushing report here: Israel Baseball's Opening Day: Modiin Crushes Petach Tikva, 9-1. There's quite a good video report there, too, although I could only get it to work in IE. Looks like a bunch of ex-Major Leaguers doing the managing and about a college level of game play. The focus is clearly on the American ex-pat community. Surprisingly, there's grass even on the infield.
