What's so great about baseball in Israel?
You get to hear something like this:
Mike Hochman is a player for the Ra'anana Express. The team is playing pretty poorly and is having a tough time winning a game. Mike said to the press, "Losing is very frustrating for the club and we are doing everything in our power to overcome this drought, from extra-batting practice to extra-Kotel davening."
And at the same time, I have to cheer out for the home team. The Bet Shemesh Blue Sox are still unbeaten. They are leading the league with an 8-0 record...
Read the end of Good As Gold where the character is watching a group of chassidic boys playing baseball and yelling at eachother in yiddish. I think it ends with one boy yelling at another to "varfan the ball, varfan the f-----g ball!"
ReplyDeletethat's great! I assume varfan means "throw"
