Nate Fish, the self-proclaimed “King of Jewish Baseball”, has been a coach and player with Team USA at the Maccabiah Games, the Tel Aviv Lightning, the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox and the Savannah Bananas, a “baseball circus” team that focuses on entertainment, costumes and dancing. This spring, he’s heading to Arizona with Team Israel to prepare for their historic appearance at the Tokyo Olympics.
