Ten current or former MLB players with Jewish-American heritage
will play for the Israeli team in the World Baseball Classic this Spring. Among the squad are former Red Sox players
Ryan Lavarnway and
Gabe Kapler—along with current Portland Sea Dog 1B
Cody Decker. Durham, New Hampshire native
Sam Fuld will also be on the team. This will be Israel's first appearance in the WBC and the first time that Jewish-American baseball players have competed for Israel in an international baseball tournament.
