What a finish to the 2011 baseball season. Even before the interesting seven-game World Series won by St. Louis, there was incredible drama in the final month. Read Article 2) Posted Oct 12 2011 'Mancation' In Cincinnati By Irwin Cohen Two months ago I told you about my "Mancation" (men only, we visit different cities, check out a ballgame and the shuls, etc.). Read Article 3) Posted Sep 07 2011 Hank Greenberg's 25th Yahrzeit By Irwin Cohen It was Hank Greenberg's 25th yahrzeit recently and I said Kaddish for baseball's biggest Jewish superstar.

Read Article 5) Posted Jul 07 2011 The Marlins' Coming New Stadium And More By Irwin Cohen While there are great rates on fares to the Miami area this time of year, it's not a place most people want to visit in the summer, unless, of course, they have relatives or good friends to visit or a simcha to attend. Read Article 6) Posted Jun 07 2011 On Jewish Pitchers - And Some Departed Heroes By Irwin Cohen Jason Marquis became the first Jewish pitcher in 31 years to collect 100 career victories. Pitching for the Washington Nationals this year, Marquis (pronounced Mar-kee) earned his first big-league win ten years ago by beating the Mets at Shea Stadium while pitching for the Atlanta Braves. Jason, who'll turn 33 on August 2, has also pitched for the St. Louis Cardinals, Chicago Cubs and Colorado Rockies. Read Article 7) Posted May 11 2011 Random Thoughts A Month Into The Season By Irwin Cohen A local Orthodox attendance record was set at Detroit's Comerica Park on Sunday Chol Hamoed Pesach as an estimated 500 frum fans were in the stands. They saw a good game as the Tigers downed the White Sox 3-0 on a beautiful sunny day. Seven families from my shul returned with suntans and they reported many shuls were represented in all sections of the downtown ballpark, about a 20-minute ride from my dugout. Read Article 8) Posted Apr 06 2011 Baseball's Back! Predictions For The 2011 Season By Irwin Cohen Every team has a bad week. Good teams, however, go through it less often. It all play out over the course of the season, so don't pay too much attention to where good teams are listed in the standings early on. Read Article 9) Posted Mar 09 2011 Baseball Shakes Off Its Winter Slumber By Irwin Cohen Baseball is back. And for the first time, half the 30 major league clubs are holding spring training in the Phoenix area. Read Article 10) Posted Feb 09 2011 The Man And His Book By Irwin Cohen In the four years-plus I've been writing this column, I've received many questions from readers. This month would be a good time to showcase some of the more popular questions and tell you of a book about an Orthodox Jew in the baseball field. Read Article 11) Posted Jan 12 2011 A Mighty Fine Feller By Irwin Cohen Bob Feller was stubborn and opinionated - and, I must admit, I didn't care for him too much at our first meeting over 30 years ago. Read Article 12) Posted Dec 08 2010 Hammerin' Hank's 100th By Irwin Cohen January 1 will be the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hank Greenberg. And Greenberg's 25th yahrzeit will be marked next August. Read Article 13) Posted Nov 10 2010 Wonderful Rick Ferrell By Irwin Cohen It's over 15 years since Rick Ferrell died, a few months shy of his 90th birthday. Read Article 14) Posted Oct 06 2010 The Greatest World Series Finish Ever By Irwin Cohen It was a half-century ago but I still have vivid memories of 1960. Television was still considered kosher and my favorite shows were mostly westerns. Read Article 15) Posted Sep 07 2010 Remembering Bobby Thomson By Irwin Cohen Those of us who were around then will never forget that afternoon 59 years ago. Read Article 16) Posted Aug 11 2010 Farewell To Four Baseball Legends By Irwin Cohen Ernie Harwell, Bob Sheppard, George Steinbrenner, Ralph Houk - four legendary men long associated with baseball, all of whom died during this baseball season.

Read Article 18) Posted Jun 09 2010 Non-Perfect Perfect Game By Irwin Cohen It's been all over the news. You had to be in solitary confinement not to hear about umpire Jim Joyce's blown call at first base that should have ended the perfect game by Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga against the Cleveland Indians in Detroit. Read Article 19) Posted May 12 2010 By The Numbers By Irwin Cohen While we're counting the Omer we'll also be counting Alex Rodriguez's homers. When the Yankees third baseman hits his 17th home run this season, it will be the 600th of his career. A-Rod, who'll be 35 in July, is a good bet to hit 800 career home runs - a number never yet reached by anyone - before he retires. Read Article 20) Posted Apr 08 2010 Postseason Picks By Irwin Cohen A huge Mets fan from Brooklyn moved to my town (Oak Park, Michigan.) and settled in a few houses from me. Walking home from shul the other day, he took issue with my picking, in last month's column, the Mets to finish fourth in the National League East.
