Major League Baseball’s first Israeli coach brings attention to hostages

By Around the Web

(JNS) — An Israeli baseball coach is going to bat for his countrymen held captive by Hamas terrorists in Gaza for nearly six months.

Alon Leichman is an assistant pitching coach for Major League Baseball’s Cincinnati, Ohio, franchise, the Reds; stitched onto his new glove for the 2024 season are the words “Bring Them Home Now!”

The glove was spotted by Cincinnati news channel WCPO-TV last week—one day before the season opener game on March 28 against the visiting Washington Nationals at Great American Ball Park, a game won by the Red in an 8-2 thumping.
