1) Walt Weiss - shortstop for the A's
2) This has got to be the real winner of all
time - Just a few years ago, the Toronto Blue Jays had a black
outfielder named . . . . . Jacob Brumfield. I once had a
camp counselor named Jacob Brumfield!
From Robert Karen (Canada-just
visiting your site)
John may not have been Jewish but his teammate on the Orioles Steve Stone
was very Jewish (weekly focus of Balto. Jewish Times). He had .500 records with
very bad White Sox teams before being picked up by O's where he promptly went
on to win 23+ games and start in the All Star
Game!
And of course, Rod Carew should be on your top 10 list. He converted :) Robert

Other footy fans can correct me if i'm wrong, but David Schwartz of the AFL
couldn't be Jewish, otherwise he'd be written up in the Jewish News after every
injury and insult...
