About this listen

 Join Chana Weinberg on this episode to learn about pitcher and sabra Alon Leichman and the coach who brought Israel to Eric Holtz , a rare pair whose legacies trace back to the beginning of organized baseball in Israel and how their wild baseball journeys led them both back home to join Team Israel.  This limited-run podcast will tell the story of how a small country the size of New Jersey which features no professional baseball league managed to produce a world-class team that beat a string of baseball Goliaths to secure a trip to Tokyo. With unprecedented insider access to players, coaches, and managers, the show will tell the stories of the ragtag team of athletes -- some former Major Leaguers, some underdogs -- who managed to pull off one of the greatest upsets in modern sports history, touching on larger themes like faith, friendship, and nationhood. This is a production of SoulShop in partnership with the Israel Association of Baseball.
