Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story brings to life the contributions of Jewish major leaguers and explores the special meaning that baseball has had in the lives of American Jews. More than a film about sports, it is a story of immigration, assimilation, bigotry, heroism, the passing on of traditions and the shattering of stereotypes. This documentary was scripted by Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times columnist Ira Berkow. Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman narrates.
