著者について

Benita W. Boxerman is an author known for her contributions to the literature surrounding Jewish participation in baseball, particularly through her books "Jews and Baseball: Volume 1, Entering the American Mainstream, 1871-1948" and "Jews and Baseball: Volume 2, The Post-Greenberg Years, 1949-2008." Her work highlights the significant yet often overlooked role that Jewish players and executives have played in the history of American baseball. By chronicling their journeys, Boxerman provides a deeper understanding of how these individuals navigated the cultural landscape of American sports and society.

In addition to her exploration of Jewish baseball history, Boxerman's writing also delves into the life of George Weiss, who was a pivotal figure in the New York Yankees' success during the mid-20th century. Her research sheds light on Weiss's influence and the broader impact of Jewish executives in the sport. Through her detailed analysis and engaging narratives, Boxerman enriches the reader’s appreciation for the intersections of culture, identity, and athletics in American history.
