Sol the Sweetness

This post goes out to Solomon S, unborn (and unconceived) child of loyal reader FGS (Fort Worth, TX). Though FGS (Fort Worth, TX) is Christian (specifically a Disciple of Christ (as is Andrew Elliott, (soon to be) Esq.)), his unborn (and unconceived) child will be Jewish (as is the Great Wiki Karmel). And part of being a member of the "tribe" means that you are predisposed to being unathletic. There are exceptions, notably:

Hall of Fame baseball players Hank Greenberg and Sandy Koufax. Current MLB players Ian Kinsler, Brad Ausmus, Shawn Green, Gabe Kapler, Kevin Youklis, and Jason Marquis among others. Also, Mose Solomon, aka The Rabbi of Swat, played two games in 1923.

In the NBA, Jordan Farmar (now my favorite baller) and Jon Scheyer at Duke. Great coaches Red Auerbach, Larry Brown, and Larry Frank (well, maybe he's not great...).

In the NFL, current Buffalo Bills General Manager Marv Levy, as well as Robby Gould, Jay Fiedler, and Sage Rosenfels.

And in the NHL, soon to be Rookie of the Year, Evgeni Malkin (quite frankly, I'm shocked. If I end up winning my fantasy hockey league (I'm in the finals this week- I'll keep you, my loyal readers, posted), it'll be in large part due to drafting Malkin). As is Commissioner Bettman

Anyway.... the purpose of this posting was originally to have an excuse to link this article. I've lost my train of thought and I have to get back to work (my lunch break is ending soon). But hopefully little unborn Sol can get inspiration from these great athletes and become the next Great Jewish Hope (though little Sol will have to compete with the Great Wiki Karmel's unborn (and unconceived) son, Isaac, who will one day be patrolling center field for the Yankees).
