-
- Baseball
On this episode, join Chana Weinberg to learn about former top pitching prospect Josh Zeid and how he overcame a career altering injury that ultimately led him to taking the mound for team Israel in the Olympics.
This limited-run podcast will tell the story of how a small country the size of New Jersey which features no professional baseball league managed to produce a world-class team that beat a string of baseball Goliaths to secure a trip to Tokyo.
With unprecedented insider access to players, coaches, and managers, the show will tell the stories of the ragtag team of athletes -- some former Major Leaguers, some underdogs -- who managed to pull off one of the greatest upsets in modern sports history, touching on larger themes like faith, friendship, and nationhood.
This is a production of SoulShop in partnership with the Israel Association of Baseball.
