lowly but surely, the
Metropolitan Detroit JCC
Maccabi Club baseball pro-
gram is coming back to life.
Detroit's age 14-and-under team
won a bronze medal last month at
the Vancouver Games, the program's
first medal in at least five years. More
importantly, there is talk of fielding
two Detroit baseball teams next year.
Unofficial Detroit Maccabi histo-
rian Don Rudick said Detroit hasn't
had 16U and 14U baseball squads
since 2000. The last 16U team was
the 2001 squad.
Detroit baseball coach Harry
Glanz has orchestrated the diamond
turnaround. "It's important to know
the Jewish kids in the area who are
serious baseball players, and you
have to explain what Maccabi is all
about to them and their families:'
Glanz said. "Baseball is an aside.
Maccabi is the greatest experience a
Jewish kid can have, and there's only
a short window to enjoy it."
This was Glanz's third year as
coach. Just eight players came to his
first tryout in 2004. Glanz had to
make telephone calls to put together
a team, which came within one vic-
tory of making the medal round.
Twenty-two players came to the 2005
tryout. That team lost in the first
game of the medal round.
This year's tryout attracted 27 play-
ers. All seven from 2005 who were
still eligible tried out. Detroit won the
bronze medal with a thrilling 7-6 vic-
tory over Philadelphia.
Down 5-2 after 5 1/2 innings,
Detroit rallied for five runs in the
bottom of the sixth to move in front
7-5. Mark Meisner's two-run
single that scored Blake King and
Mark Feldman put Detroit ahead
6-5. Andy Schwartz's RBI single
brought home Danny Deutsch
with the eventual winning run.
Philadelphia rallied for a two-
out run in the top of seventh and
moved runners to second and third.
But Schwartz got the final batter to
hit a ground ball to second base-
man Deutsch, whose low throw was
scooped up at first by McDowell.
Detroit went 3-1 in pool play, earn-
ing a No. 3 ranking among the 12
teams. Its only loss was to eventual
silver medalist Los Angles. King
pitched Detroit to a 6-4 win over
Charlotte, N.C., and Detroit lost 9-1
to eventual gold medalist Chicago
before facing Philadelphia.
Mark Bornstein, Jason Dovitz,
Eric Glanz, Daniel Leeb, Ben
Nusholtz and Jared Sklar rounded
out Detroit's roster. Gary Bistrow
and Mort Meisner were Glanz's
assistant coaches.
