Jewish kids just did not do that in the late 1950s, with the exception of a rare superstar like Sandy Koufax. Fortunately for Blomberg, his parents were a different story. As long as he was happy, they had no problem with their son growing up to be a doctor or a lawyer or a ballplayer. So, with his parents blessing, he prepared to ride his athletic skills as far as possible.

Was haben Fußball und Religion miteinander zu tun? Sehr viel, wie Rabbiner Josh Ahrens und der evangelische Pfarrer Peter Noss meinen. Beide sind leidenschaftliche Fußballfans und tief in ihren religiösen Traditionen verwurzelt.
