Even Charles Barkley Thinks Michael Jordan’s Hitler Moustache is Stupid

The Jewiville Slugger — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 04:56:21 +0000

While we’re all asking ourselves "what the hell?", Sir Charles puts it all into perspective:

"Well, first of all I would never shave my mustache like that. I mean I have got to admit that I don’t know what the hell he was thinking and I don’t know what Hanes was thinking. I mean it is just stupid, it is just bad, plain and simple."

While we don’t get why people aren’t raising more of a fuss over Michael Jordan’s choice to look like Unlce Adolf, we’re glad that The Round Mound of Rebound is always around to speak out.

Can We Trade Bud Selig to Another People?

I’d like to formally announce that I think baseball commissioner Bud Selig is a complete douchebag.

"It is interesting," Selig said. "Most baseball people are really against instant replay. There’s no question about that. I could sense that the last three days [in talking to people]."

Really Bud? Who exactly are you talking to? Because me and just about every newspaper I’ve read think you really pooped the bed on the Armando Galarraga perfect game issue and I’d love to trade you to another religion.

Lipman Pike: Original Jewish Baller

The Jewiville Slugger — Thu, 27 May 2010 05:46:26 +0000

On this day in 1845, Lipman Emanuel "Lip" Pike was born in New York. Lipman would go on to be the first ever professional Jewish baseball player, and also go on to be part of the early "dudes with sweet mustaches" trend that would continue well into the 21st Century.

If you’re a fan of Brooklyn, baseball, and fiction, I’m pretty sure that Diamond Ruby by Joe Wallace is going to be your favorite book of the year.

To help get the word out, Mr. Wallace has created this gem of a trailer that we’re more than happy to share with you:

Jews Love Baseball: Rockies with Kidney Stones, Chicago Cubs Fans Hate Arizona/Being Losers, The Tribe Despised and More

Since Jews and baseball go together like Jews and non-profit jobs, bagels and other cultural stereotypes I’m too lazy to list, may we present to you the Jewcy weekly baseball roundup, Jews Love Baseball:

Mint Condition by Dave Jamieson should be considered a holy book. Everything about it makes me feel a little bit better about all the time and money I spent during my youth chasing down Donruss common cards.

Black, white or Ryan Braun: Major League Baseball loves everybody.

Miguel Olivo of the Colorado Rockies passes a kidney stone in the 8th inning, comes back and his team still loses. He’s like Willis Reed, except more disgusting and not a winner.

Chicago Cubs fan protest Arizona immigration laws/don’t protest their loser team.

Chicago Cubs fans bitchslapping each other/still cheering for a loser team.*

This is called "false security."

What sort of horrible person hates the Cleveland Indians? Don’t you remember their (fictional) winning season in the film Major League?

Gregg Zaun of the Milwaukee Brewers masters the art of drunken catcher.

Gabe Kapler is playing just above subpar.

The editor of Jewcy.com is a die hard Cubs fan and resents the term "losers."
