It is for all purposes a team of Americans of Jewish descent – not a bad idea, and interesting that they are doing well. It might be nice if there was a serious Israeli interest in baseball, but there isn’t. And while many frum Jews like baseball, and always have (baseball players don’t try to injure each other, they wear clothes, the sport is open to people of all shapes and sizes, and brains are a big part of the game), it is unlikely a frum Jew would ever reach the level necessary to play on a national team since high-level baseball is routinely played on Shabbos.
