Youkilis To Play For Israel

With the World Baseball Classic tournament coming up, Israel is attempting to field a team and qualify to play. If the Israelis do qualify, they might actually end up succeeding in the tournament, considering the rules would allow even non-Israeli Jews to play for the Israeli team.

Kevin Youkilis of the Chicago White Sox (I am a Cubs fan, but this guy is a Member of the tribe) has already announced that if the team qualifies and he is healthy and available, he would play for the Israeli team...

After that maybe Nefesh b'Nefesh can sign him, and other Jewish ballplayers, up for an upcomign aliyah flight...

    He'll probably throw out his elbow signing the forms, and be lost for the entire tournament.
