On Yom Teruah, 5741, September 11, 1980, he homered off of Ray Burris of the Mets.

Mike Schmidt?

I consider the “162-game averages” to be significant as one way to fairly compare players.
Some like “WAR” the best – and it does balance the problem of different “eras” in baseball – like it really isn’t fair to compare sluggers in the mid-to-late 1960’s with sluggers who played in the late ‘90’s to early 2000’s.
Anyway, Michael Jack averaged 37 home runs and 107 RBI’s for his 162 game average.

Mike Schmidt?

He has other Jewish characteristics
He is very intelligent (as was known during his playing days and is still true in 2015 – listen to him when he gives color commentary on Phillies’ broadcasts)
He has a great sense of humor (like when he came out, wearing a wig when he knew he would be booed)

Mike Schmidt?

He was extremely successful at what he did: he has frequently been voted the greatest third baseman to ever play the game.
According to the JAWS ranking, he is the best statistically
Third Base (1st), 106.5 career WAR/58.5 7yr-peak WAR/82.5 JAWS
Average HOF 3B (out of 13) = 67.4 career WAR/42.7 7yr-peak WAR/55.0 JAWS

Mike Schmidt?

And don’t let the red hair when he was young throw you off… King David was also a red head.

Mike Schmidt?

And, not coincidently, he is an evangelical Christian… and, hopefully, still a man after God’s own heart.

“Mr Gorachev, tear DOWN this wall!”

Mike Lieberthal

Lieby played 14 seasons… with SEVEN seasons of 100 games or more, from Shemitah year 1994 to Shemitah year 2007…
He played in the 1999 All Star game, with Shawn Green and Brad Ausmus, tied for the most Jewish players with Shemitah year 2008, when Ryan Braun, Kevin Youkilis, and Ian Kinsler played

Shawn Green

Shawn Green sat out Yom Kippur during the tight pennant race of 2001.
His team, the Dodgers, lost, but he was honored by the Lord the following season.
On May 23rd, 2002, he had the greatest offensive day in the history of Major League Baseball, covering thousands and thousands of games since the late 1800’s. He hit four home runs, a double, and a single – that’s 19 total bases in one game.
Shawn Green played a lot more than seven seasons. He played more than 100 games in 14 seasons. Yeah, that’s right – 14 is exactly 2 times SEVEN!

Brad Ausmus

Brad Ausmus played for quite a while – 14 seasons of over 100 games. (14 = 2 X SEVEN!).
He had over 7000 plate appearances, and scored 718 runs for his career.
He is ranked first all-time among all Jewish major leaguers in career games played (1,971), fifth in hits (1,579), and eighth in runs batted in (607; directly behind Mike Lieberthal).
He was inducted into the National Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 2004

Kevin Youkilis

Kevin Youklis played SEVEN full seasons, with 100 or more games…
He first came to fame before he was even in the Majors, when he became a central character discussed in the book Moneyball.
He had an outstanding career at the University of Cincinnati and was known for his ability to get on base.
The Red Sox drafted him on June 11, 2001 (the 20th of Sivan, 5761, a Shemitah year.
On October 3, 2007 (the 21st of Tishrei in the Shemitah year 5768) in the first inning of Game 1 of the ALDS against the Angels, he hit his first post-season home run. It was his first homer since returning from being hit by a pitch in mid-September.
Announcing the game on TBS was former Orioles pitcher and fellow Jewish player, Steve Stone. Youkilis said his wrist "felt a lot better as the days have progressed. I think the best thing about it is that it's playoff time, and adrenaline helps the most."
In the 7-game ALCS against Cleveland, he hit three more home runs, had 14 hits (tying the LCS record)

Kevin Youkilis

In the 2007 ALCS, he also scored 10 runs (bettering Matsui's 2004 ALCS record) while batting .500 (another new ALCS record, bettering Bob Boone's .455 in 1986) with a .576 OBP and a .929 slugging percentage.
