Be a Jewish-born man in baseball, man...be a baseball-playin' Jew.

No doubt that guys like Hank Greenburg put up with a lot of horrific abuse.
On the other hand, it's probably fair to say that Sandy Koufax is one of the most well-liked, popular players in baseball history.

As a kid, one of my favorite Cubs was the great Kenny Holtzman. Of course, the Cubs being the Cubs, they traded him away right as he was about to peak. So he went on to win 3 straight World Series for the A's, and even collected another ring or two with the Yankees, before, in another typical Cubs move, they brought him him back after he was used up, so he could suck for a year or two in a Cub uni before calling it quits.

Koufax took a lot of grief for refusing to play on Yom Kippur.
