Spring has sprung, which means two things to the Gabe and Jamie, host of The CJN’s podcast about Jews and sports: baseball’s opening day and Passover are mere days apart. For the second year in a row, the boys are burning their chametz and settling in for long innings of watching Blue Jays games from (mostly) pandemic-induced isolation, recalling stories of the most iconic type of Hebrew freedom: the freedom of Jews to play really great baseball.

So pull up a chair, grab your haggadah and a hot dog, a cap with some karpas, a salty egg with some salty pretzels, and enjoy the second annual Menschwarmers Jewish baseball seder.
