The Rabbi

The King Bri Rock's real nickname is revealed. A very good read on the career and faith of Brian Horwitz.

From within that piece, a surprising bit of trivia: Horwitz is the first Jewish player on the Giants since the tenure of pitcher José Bautista. You may remember him as the Giants' long reliever during the '95 and '96 seasons, and as the man who impressively put together a 6.44 ERA in 100.2 innings of work, prompting a nascent future Giants blogger to dub him José Blowtista.

Turns out Bautista, who comes from the Dominican Republic, is actually half-Israeli - you know, the half that counts.
