American Jews and America's Game collects first-person accounts that map the Jewish presence across professional baseball. Arranged by decade, the book blends personal memory and cultural history to show how Jewish players, executives, writers and fans shaped the sport.

Drawn from nearly fifty interviews, contributors reflect on growing up Jewish, balancing religious and communal life, experiences with prejudice, family and intermarriage, and connections to Israel. The narratives move beyond headline names to include behind-the-scenes leaders and commentators whose decisions and voices influenced the game.

Readers interested in sports history, American Jewish life, or oral history will find a wide-ranging portrait of identity, influence and belonging in America's pastime.

  • Nearly 50 in-depth interviews
  • Decade-by-decade oral and cultural history
  • Profiles of players, executives, writers and fans
