Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story (2010)
Those who know me know that I love baseball, but many are surprised I am not well-versed in baseball history. Now I know more than I did last week after watching this entertaining documentary. Hank Greenberg, his family, and Sandy Koufax are featured prominently. With a fabulous soundtrack of jazz and other classics and narrated by Dustin Hoffman, this is screening only at Jewish Film Festivals around the world (one coming up in Hong Kong!) and isn't yet listed on netflix. Here's its own website. Directed and produced by documentarian Peter Miller and written by New York Times sportswriter/columnist Ira Berkow, it's a winner, but has not yet won any awards. I imagine it will, once it gets shown to a wider audience.

One more note: the film has in fact won one award so far, for best editing at the Breckenridge Festival of Film, a tribute to the work of its amazing editor Amy Linton.
