Diamond Dandies
There are two Jewish players on the
Boston Red Sox roster, and both are
making big news in Beantown.
Kevin Youkalis, 27, the Red Sox's
new starting first baseman, was bat-
ting .318 with eight RBI as of April 18.
The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Cincinnati
native was a two-time All-American
baseball player at the University of
Cincinnati.
Centerfielder Adam Stern, 26, was
hitting just .188 as of April 18, but
his spectacular diving catch saved
Boston's 7-4 win over Tampa Bay the
day before.
"I snowconed the ball',' Stern told
MLB.com reporter Ian Browne. "Thank
goodness I caught it. If I missed it, it's
going to the wall and I've got some
questions to answer."
-
Stern was born in London, Ont. The
5-11, 180-pounder was a standout on
the diamond and in the classroom at
the University of Nebraska, earning
first team Academic All-Big 12 honors
in 2001.
