The New York Mets traded for Shawn Green yesterday, and then celebrated with a walk-off victory over St. Louis last night. Green, somewhat surprisingly, becomes one of the few Jews to play for the Mets, with the only other of note being Art Shamsky. (No, David Cone was not Jewish.)
This blog appears to have been created just for the occasion. And now that the Mets have a Jewish rightfielder, will Denis Leary be visiting the SportsNet NY booth to talk about it?
