According to the Boston Globe, the Red Sox featured three Jewish players in their lineup in one game last week (Gabe Kapler, Kevin Youkilis, and Andy Stern), the first team to do so since the 1978 White Sox (Ross Baumgarten, Ron Blomberg, and Steve Stone.)

Seriously, you might visit here: http://www.jewishsports.org/index.html
The Jewish Sports Hall of Fame. One of my buddies had some minor involvement with the formation of this a few years ago.
See my update and IMHO great photo on the event here:
