  • Ruttm An, Larry. American Jews and America's Game
    R u t t m a n , L a r r y . American Jews and America's Game: Voices o f a Growing Legacy in Base­ ball. Foreward by B ud Selig. Lincoln: University o f Nebraska Press, 2013. Pp. xxxii+510. Illustrations, bibliography, and index. $34.95 cb. A large, ambitious, and deeply personal work, this book attempts to define the Jewish- American experience through the prism of baseball. With sections organized around de­ cades, American Jews and America's Game ranges from the 1930s to the present. Original face-to-face interviews, conducted in venues as disparate as Rancho Mirage, Phoenix, Manhattan, Cooperstown, Boston, Baltimore, Kissimmee, and Tel Aviv, provide the core content. Telling photographs, many taken by the author, burnish the commentary. Baseball’s attraction for Jews, the varieties of Jewish baseball experience, anti-Semitism, evolving Jewish identity, relations between the generations, and the future of American Jewry re­ ceive significant attention. Passionate and determined, Larry Ruttman, attorney, adult education teacher, regional writer, and baseball enthusiast, commenced the five-year mis­ sion that culminated in American Jews and America's Game after the age o f seventy. Ruttmans visceral connection to the subject matter colors the presentation. By con­ trast, in The Glory o f Their Times: The Story o f the Early Days o f Baseball Told by the Men Who Played I t (1966), the most acclaimed oral history of the game, editor Lawrence S. Ritter defers to the voices of his interviewees. Save for his preface, elimination of certain material, and some sequential rearrangement, Ritter, largely confining his role to that of catalyst and compiler, displays editorial restraint.
