Jewish Players
Are Up And Down
NEIL KELLER SPECIAL TO THE JEWISH NEWS
T
he 1996 Ma-
jor League
Baseball reg-
ular season is
now officially over.
For the Jewish
players in the ma-
jors, there were
highlights and low
lights among the
eight who appeared
in 1996.
Shawn Green of
the Toronto Blue
Jays is probably the Shawn Green:
premier Jewish Decent season.
major leaguer, but
he struggled in the spring with a
batting average around .225. He
had an excellent August and
peaked at .288.
A short slump at the end of the
year caused the 23-year-old to fin-
ish with a .280 batting average.
Green had 32 doubles, three
triples, 11 home runs and 45 runs
batted in. The 6-foot-4-inch right
fielder committed only two errors
in 132 games.
Brad Ausmus (Jewish mother)
began this season with the San
Diego Padres but was traded to
the Detroit Tigers. The catcher is
primarily known for his quick
arm.
Ausmus, 27, appeared in 75
games and had some key hits. He
finished the season with 12 dou-
bles, four home runs, 22 RBIs and
a .248 batting average.
Another Jewish catcher is
Jesse Levis. He was picked up by
the Milwaukee Brewers from
Cleveland before the season. The
28-year-old appeared behind the
plate in 104 games for the Brew-
ers. He had six doubles, one triple
and one home run to add to his
21 RBIs. His final batting aver-
age was .236.
Ruben Amaro (Jewish moth-
er) had the best statistics among
the Jewish players. The Philadel-
phia Phillies used him primarily
as a pinch-hitter and he often
came through in the clutch. The
31-year-old right fielder finished
with a splendid .316 batting av-
erage. He appeared in 61 games
with 10 doubles, two home runs
and 15 RBIs.
The Baltimore Orioles acquired
pitcher Mike Milchin (Jewish fa-
ther, but bar mitzvahed and raised
Jewish) from the Minnesota Twins
on Aug. 24. The 28-year-old left-
hander won three games and lost
just one during the season. He ap-
peared in 39 games and struck out
29 batters in 32.2 innings. His fi-
nal ERA was 7.44.
The oldest Jewish player in the
majors this year was Jose Bautista
(Jewish mother), a 28-year-old re-
lief pitcher for the
San Francisco Gi-
ants. He won three
games and lost four
with a 3.36 ERA in
37 games, including
one start. He had 28
strikeouts in 69.2
innings. Bautista
was put on the dis-
abled list in early
September because
of an aneurysm in
his right shoulder
and a blood clot in
his right index fin-
ger.
Alan Levine, 28, was called up
from the minor leagues to help the
Chicago White Sox. The relief
pitcher appeared in 16 games and
had an 0-1 record. He struck out
seven batters in 18.1 irmings, and
had an ERA of 5.40.
The Los Angeles Dodgers had
Scott Radinsky (Jewish mother)
on their pitching staff. Also 28, he
finished with an excellent 5-1
record, with one save.
Radinsky appeared in 58
games, struck out 48 in 52.1 in-
nings pitched and had a strong
2.41 ERA. ❑
