I wonder if this has happened since 2008.
The link above doesn't work but I found this on Wikipedia:
The Red Sox' Craig Breslow and Ryan Lavarnway were a recent all-Jewish battery. I wonder if that combination faced any Jewish hitters...May 2 - A Special Pinch Hit Home Run: The Batter, Pitcher, and Catcher Were Jewish
On May 2, 1951 at Briggs Stadium in Detroit, Philadelphia A's pinch hitter Lou Limmer stepped into the batters box to face the Tigers' Saul Rogovin. The 6'2" right-hander peered in to get the signal from catcher Joe Ginsberg, nodded assent, and went into the windup. Around came the arm, in came the pitch and Limmer swung, sending a drive to deep right that cleared the fence for a home run. Now, pinch hit home runs are not unique, but what is unique is that the pitcher, the catcher, and the hitter were all Jewish. It is the only known time in major league baseball that has occurred.Last edited by GiambiJuice; 12-22-2014, 09:36 AM.My top 10 players:

Koufax's cool name didn't hurt him. It's hard to imagine him, going by his birth name of Sanford Braun.This week's Giant

I've known a few Sanfords, and they all went by Sandy. I suppose you could try Ford as a nickname...I looked him up and Frick's given name was just Ford.Originally posted by JR Hart View Post
Koufax was just his stepdad's name...but, you're right that Sandy Koufax is way cooler than Sandy Braun.
Maybe if he had stayed a Braun he would have gone the Charlie Brown route and called himself Flash Braun?
