Contributing Writer F Yin/At/gine 422244 MEDITERRANEn I Steve Stein • ather's Day is a special day in the InterCongregational Men's Club Summer Softball League. That's because fathers, families and soft- ball are a perfect combination. "Every year, the league discusses whether to play on Father's Day and overwhelmingly ifs agreed that on Father's Day, we should play:' said league spokesman Chuck Freedman. `Almost all teams received moral support from their families this year Freedman said. "Many teams have fathers and sons playing together." Temple Shir Shalom, Temple Kol Ami and Congregation B'nai Moshe led the 16-team league after the Father's Day games, each with a 4-0 record. League games were rained out on two Sundays. Sophomore Star It was a bitterly cold day this spring. Temperatures were in the low 30s and a biting wind made it feel even chillier. Up to the plate in a high school baseball game stepped Max Rosenfeld. Ignoring the cold wind blowing right at him, the Bloomfield Hills sophomore third baseman hit a home run about 340 feet over the leftfield fence at Berkley. "That's when I knew he was some- thing special; said first-year Bloomfield Hills coach Frank DiVito. "To have the ability to do that on the varsity level as a 10th grader is remarkable The home run shocked Rosenfeld. "The ball came off the bat really good, but I didn't think it was going over the fence because it was so cold our he said. "I put my head down and started run- ning hard because I thought the ball was going to stay in the park I was surprised to see the umpire waving me around" Rosenfeld had a hot bat all season for the state-ranked Blackhawks in their sec- ond year as a combined Bloomfield Hills Andover and Bloomfield Hills Lahser team. He batted .402 with 37 hits, 34 RBIs, seven doubles and three homers. At one point of the season, Rosenfeld had 15 hits in 18 at-bats. "There's no doubt Max was a huge part of our success:' DiVito said. The success, which surprised many who predicted a nondescript season for the Blackhawks, included a 25-8 overall record and a 9-3 mark as champion of the Oakland Activities Association Blue Division. Rosenfeld had the game-winning RBI in a four-run rally in the top of the seventh inning May 19 in a 10-9 win over Berkley that clinched the division championship. He began the season at first base, an unfamiliar position, to replace a senior who went out of town on spring break. "Max was shaky initially at first base because he didn't have a lot of reps there, but he worked hard and became a ser- viceable first baseman; DiVito said. Rosenfeld was moved to third base when the team's roster was full again and that's where he stayed. It was another new position for him because he'd played shortstop most of his life "but this wasn't a crazy transition; he said. "We had a senior shortstop and third base was the open job. Playing there eventually became second nature for me Shortstop could very well be Rosenfeld's position next year. And DiVito expects him to be part of the team's pitching rotation. This isn't the first time Rosenfeld has made headlines on the baseball dia- mond. Last summer, he helped the Detroit U16 team win a gold medal at the JCC Maccabi Games hosted by Detroit. Two years earlier, he was on the Detroit U14 team that won a silver medal in the Maccabi Games in New York. Rosenfeld hopes to play varsity bas- ketball for Bloomfield Hills next winter. He was on the junior varsity team last season.
