If you like Israel and you like baseball, the following video might make you the happiest person in the world.
That was Ha'tikva, the Israeli national anthem. And at yesterday's game between the BeitShemesh Blue Sox and Tel Aviv Lightning, it was sung by a member of the Burgers Bar concession stand crew. Nice job! Now get back to french fryer.
Good game last night at Gezer Field. The Blue Sox won 8-2 thanks in part to Australian Jason Rees who crushed two HRs, including a grand slam that, I'm pretty sure, landed in southern Lebanaon. We've got analysis from my friend and color commentator extraordinaire, Jason Edelstein:
Gezer Field is a jewel of a ballpark. Does it look familiar? If you ask me, it bears a striking resemblance to the baseball field in Field of Dreams:
Sunflower fields just beyond the outfield fences...looks a lot like
something Ray Liotta would walk out from, no?
By the way, by far, the most interesting "quirk" about Gezer Field is the restroom facilities. And by "facilities" I mean the lone Port-O-Potty standing just beyond the center field fence. Basically, if you need to hit the can...EVERYONE will know about it haha. Oh Israel...one big happy family.
Follow the yellow brick road...
...to the yellow Port-O-Potty in center field if nature calls.
Have I mentioned how much fun it is being here these days?
