I'm not positive, because I don't know where one would go to find the data on this, but I think the Red Sox may have made Major League baseball history tonight.
In the top of the ninth inning, the defensive arrangement looked something like this--
P Manny Delcarmen C Jason Varitek 1B Kevin Millar 2B Tony Graffanino 3B Kevin Youkilis SS Edgar Renteria LF Gabe Kapler CF Johnny Damon RF Adam Stern
Take a closer look at that.
Youkilis.
Kapler.
Stern.
All at the same time.
Ladies and gents, the Boston Red Sox may have just become the first team in history to have three Jewish baseball players on the field at the same time.
Wow.
If anyone can definitively confirm or deny this, or point me to a place where I can work it out on my own, please do so. In any event, if this isn't the first time, it is certainly the first time in a good long while.
And it's possible that this defensive arrangement came up already this season and I missed it... if so, it's still the Sox, just on a different date.
