Holy Land Hardball

Wed 12 Nov, 2 pm. 1001 Watertown Street, West Newton, 02465. Sara Rubin, 617-244-9899, info@bjff.org. Boston Jewish Film Festival - [events]

Wednesday, November 12 2:00 pm Coolidge Corner Theatre In person: Directors Brett Rapkin and Erik Kesten, and Israel Baseball League Player Nate Fish After 5,767 years, is Israel ready for baseball? Bostonian Larry Baras thinks so, certain that if he builds it, they will come. Documenting the formation of Israel’s first professional baseball league from tryouts to the selection of 120 hardball hopefuls to the scheduled first game in June 2007, the film is marvelously entertaining from the first pitch through the bottom of the ninth. Features a number of figures well-known to Red Sox Nation, including Dan Duquette, the league’s director of baseball operations and former Red Sox GM and Kevin Youkilis, one of the few Jewish major league players.
