a Jewish first baseman."
Leary might have confused Youkilis'
nationality because Michael Lewis
nicknamed him "Euclis: The Greek
God of Walks" in his 2003 book,
Moneyball. Youkilis, then a minor
leaguer, was known for earning fre-
quent bases on balls.
Once apprised of Youkilis' back-
ground, Leary couldn't resist riffing on
the recent anti-Semitic tirade actor/
director Mel Gibson launched into
after a drunk-driving arrest.
"Nice! Yeah, where's Mel Gibson
now?" Leary yelled when Youkilis
snagged a difficult ground ball.
"Mel? I hope in rehab they're show-
ing replays of that. A Jewish first
baseman makes the play ... Good
luck when you come out. Call Jeffrey
Katzenberg and ask for a job when
you get out. We'll have a whole Jewish
infield by the time he gets out.
"Bring back Sandy Koufax," he sug-
gested, referring to the Hall of Fame
pitcher who also is Jewish.
"We should have Sandy Koufax
pitch at Mel's head," Clarke chimed in.
Leary suggested that Gibson's com-
munity service should be to take an
at-bat against Koufax, with Youkilis
playing first.
And so it went. When Remy told
Leary that Sox outfielder Gabe Kapler
also is Jewish, it elicited a new torrent
of jokes.
"We got two Jews on this team, Mel!

Where's your father now, huh?" Leary
asked.
But that's not all — another Jew,
Adam Stern, plays for the Red Sox's
AAA farm team; and the team's execu-
tive vice president and general man-
ager, Theo Epstein, also is Jewish.
Andrew Sullivan linked a video clip
of the conversation on his blog, The
Daily Dish. "Classic. Sublime. The best
commentary on Gibson yet," Sullivan
wrote.
YouTube, the video-sharing Web
site, was forced to take down a clip
of the inning after NESN complained
about copyright violation. But journal-
ist Seth Mnookin posted a transcript
of the broadcast on his blog, www.
sethmnookin.com/blog.
Later in the game, Leary and Clarke
appeared to have a spasm of contrition
over their roast of Gibson.
"Why are we jumping all over him,
you know what I mean?" Leary said.
"He had a little bit of tequila. You
know thoSe days."
But seconds later, when Youkilis
tagged out a runner and gave the ball
to a fan, they were back to their heck-
ling. "The ball went to a fan! That's
more than Mel Gibson's ever done!"
Clarke said.
As he was leaving the booth, Leary
told Remy and Orsillo, "Hope we didn't
get you in trouble."
In fact, he made them famous for a
day. E

Testimonial: "Royal Catering presented us with an assortment of mouth-

watering menu selections to choose from. Close attention was paid to every
detail involved with home catering and our specific needs (for a kosher
family and friends' pre-wedding party).
Jeff and the Royal Catering staff were professional and stress free to work
with. We were so pleased with the success of our party - we hired him to do
one two weeks later."

and several non-Jews came to show
their support and experience the
Jewish Sabbath. Some 100 siddurim
and chumashim were donated by
Congregation Shaarey Zedek in
Oakland County, where Drs. Spitzer
and Silverman and their four children
are members. The congregation is still
seeking a donated Torah.
Services will be held weekly at
8:30 p.m. Fridays at Trinity Episcopal
Church Parish Hall through the
High Holidays in October. One-hour
Hebrew school classes will be held
Sunday mornings during the summer
in a conference room at Mission Point
Resort. Dr. Spitzer's children, who
attend or have attended Akiva Hebrew
Day School in Southfield, will teach
the classes.
The parish hall is donated space.
"I think it is a matter of community
outreach and providing a place for
people to worship," said Dan Seeley,
a member of the Trinity Episcopal

Church board. He and other church
members felt a Jewish service of any
kind was one of the last needs to be
met in terms of religious observance
on Mackinac Island.
