S2E19 - The Jews of Cooperstown: Koufax, Greenberg... Rawitch?


Listen Later

As a co-host of Menschwarmers, James has interviewed pro athletes, journalists and historians. But the one guy whose job he really wants is Josh Rawitch, the newly minted president of the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

Rawitch, whose family more than doubled the Jewish population of Cooperstown, NY, joins to talk about how he landed the job and share stories of a few lesser-known Jewish entrants in the hall.
