BREAKING NEWS

Huge props go to Zach Williams for finding this out:

Ryan Braun is JEWISH!!!!

This immediately catapults him into the top 5 Jewish baseball players of all time, along with Sandy Koufax, Hank Greenberg, Shawn Green, and Kevin Youkilis. Not to mention it immediately catapults him into my top 10 favorite players.

Check it out on wikipedia, which has such an absurd all-Jewish related miscellaneous section on Braun I almost didn't believe it was true, including a link to this article, actually on the official website of minor league baseball and actually titled "Minor League's top Jewish prospects", and it ACTUALLY has a disclaimer at the bottom saying "This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs."

Nonetheless, here's to Braun and Youkilis and their ushering in a new era of Jewish baseball.
