Especially for those who won championships. Zeiger won the softball title for the third straight year, beating Brotherhood 19-12 in the playoff championship game at Drake Sports Park in West Bloomfield, the league’s weekly home. Player-manager Rick Sherline’s Zeiger team also had the best record during the regular season (14-5-1). “Rick’s team was the best team in the league,” said Gary Klinger, Great Lakes Region athletic chairman. Pisgah (9-9-2), Brotherhood (8-11-1) and Impact (7-13-0) followed Zeiger in the regular-season standings. Player- managers for those teams were Max Weberman, Klinger and Greg Lewis. Other Zeiger players were Marc Tushman, Dave Ettlinger, Rodger Davenport, Justin Fisher, Mike Geller, Todd Kaluzny, Eric Randolph, Josh Randolph, Danny Weiss, John Shea, Lyle Schaefer, Brian Tepper and Bobby Efros. The softball league has had four teams for a few years. While that’s the minimum number to have a league, Klinger said, there is a silver lining. “We have four stable teams and good competition,” he said. “Of course, we’re always looking to grow.” This was the 16th year the league pre- sented its Michael Yendick Pure Heart Award in honor of a former player who died from colon cancer in 2000. Kaluzny received the award in a vote of league players. Klinger said Kaluzny is a cancer survi- vor “and a complete caring individual. He cares about his family, friends and team- mates more than himself.” Yendick family members including his parents Al and Bernice attended the award ceremony. The four-year-old B’nai B’rith golf league was bigger than ever this year. It had 20 golfers, topping the 12 in 2013 and 2014 and the 16 in 2015. “Can the league grow? A little bit,” Klinger said. “If we do, we’ll probably have to start matches 10 or 15 minutes earlier so we have enough daylight to play.” There were 10 two-man teams this year. They competed as teams and indi- viduals in weekly nine-hole, handicapped match-play events. Team champions were Dale Taub and Klinger. They were followed in the stand- ings by Mitch Lefton-Stu Zorn, Howard Genser-Lyle Schaefer, Steve Lotzoff-Art Hurvitz, Howard Mertz-Gary Fink, David Swimmer-Jody Mendelson, Dave Riger-Marc Ruskin, Mike Klinger-Kerry Chaben, Mark Baron-Steve Wallace and Al DiPaolo-David Lubin. Schaefer won the individual title for the second straight year. Gary Klinger fin- ished second and Hurvitz was third. League play was at the Links of Novi for the third year. HOCKEYTOWN HISTORY A presentation about two Jewish men who helped launch the Detroit Red Wings franchise will be at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 20, at Temple Beth El, 7400 Telegraph Road in Bloomfield Hills. Temple Beth El members Morris Caplan and Morris Friedberg were part of a group that purchased the 1925-1926 Western Canada Hockey League cham- pion Victoria (B.C.) Cougars for $100,000 and brought the team to Detroit to join the National Hockey League. The Detroit Cougars became the Detroit Falcons in 1930 and the Detroit Red Wings in 1932. Admission to the presentation, co- sponsored by the Jewish Historical Society of Michigan, is a $5 donation to Temple Beth El’s Rabbi Leo M. Franklin Archive. For reservations, contact archi- vist Jan Durecki at (248) 865-0628 or farchives@tbeonline.org.
