As we head into the High Holidays, let’s pause and take a look back at the handsome sons of Abraham who match the sweetness of apples with honey.
First, a look at a few of the hotties from the Israel Baseball League, which celebrated their inaugural season this summer and ended with a 27-12 Bet Shemesh Blue Sox winning the championship in August. It was incredibly tough going, (near strikes, the league ran out of baseballs, less-than ideal training and playing conditions), and the players should be commended for making it through the summer.

Josh Eichstein, Netanya Tigers

Dovid Green, Bet Shemesh Blue Sox (Also first ever team captain of the Yeshiva University team)

Dan Rootenberg, Netanta Tigers

Andre Sternberg, Modi’in Miracle

Scott Jarmakowicz, Bet Shemesh Blue Sox

Shlomo Lipetz, Netanta Tigers
Be sure to check out this very sweet slide show from a team manager’s blog of the season in pictures. I had hard time fitting all the hotties, (a good 85%-90% of the league was hot), so be sure to check out a few more players here.
And now Texas Gal’s BONUS hotties, all from the world of pro sports.

Brad Ausmus, baseball – Houston Astros

Shawn Green, baseball – New York Mets

Robbie Gould, football – Chicago Bears

Gabe Kapler, baseball – formerly of the Boston Red Sox
now minor leaguer manager for the Sox single-A club

Ryan Braun, baseball – Milwaukee Brewers
And the hottest man in Olympic swimming, the man so hot Texy had to post FOUR pictures of him… Lenny Krayzelburg.

Phew, made it all the way to the comments without making a shofar joke.
September 13, 2007 at 8:24 am |
I involuntarily said “Holy Shit” when I saw Lenny’s package. Does that make me gay?
September 13, 2007 at 8:40 am |
Too…many…jokes…piling up…can’t hold out…much longer…
Aw, such nice boys!
I wouldn’t need to do it through a hole in a sheet!
Baruch atah adonai elohenu mel aho-ly shit you’re cute
September 13, 2007 at 9:14 am |
I just involuntarily licked my computer screen…and have to come to realize that it needs dusting…
September 13, 2007 at 9:27 am |
TSW: Shofar, so good.
September 13, 2007 at 9:34 am |
Braun. You and me. Sunrise to sunset.
September 13, 2007 at 11:13 am |
And on the eve of his holiday, Shawn Green drives the final nail into the Braves’ coffin.
Awesome.
And I’d love it if he wore a yarmulke under his hat.
September 13, 2007 at 11:16 am |
Lenny – holy shit!
Gabe – call me!
September 13, 2007 at 11:18 am |
And four pictures of Lenny was just not enough…MERCY!
September 13, 2007 at 11:20 am |
Dan Rootenberg can Challah at me any time.
(What? I’m Catholic. Give me credit that I’ve made challah.)
September 13, 2007 at 12:35 pm |
holy knishes…i always kinda imagined krayzelburg as a slightly less hairy “one chromosome short” kinda gent
September 13, 2007 at 1:25 pm |
I involuntarily said “Holy Shit” when I saw Lenny’s package.
Funny, I said the same thing.
Robbie Gould is too cute. I want to warm him up.
September 13, 2007 at 1:50 pm |
I always thought Robbie was hot, I’m glad someone else agrees. Gabe…..I want some of that.
September 13, 2007 at 2:16 pm |
At least one of the guys in the IBL said he wanted to find a nice Jewish girl to bring home to mother.
Awwwww……
September 13, 2007 at 2:57 pm |
Good thing baseball didn’t used to test for substances ahem, Kapler, cough. Love the Israeli Baseball League — that’s my brethren right there.
September 13, 2007 at 3:09 pm |
Gabe Kapler looks like John Basedow, fitness guru.
September 13, 2007 at 3:12 pm |
if all Jewish guys looked like this, I would actually date some…and my parents would be much much happier with me.
I actually stayed in Beit Shemesh for 2 weeks…unfortunately, none of these guys were there yet.
September 13, 2007 at 4:09 pm |
add sam marthinsen of the tel aviv lightning to that top list…fool’s a G!
September 13, 2007 at 7:05 pm |
It can’t be gay for me to mention that in a couple of those shots Lenny Krayzelburg’s nipples look weird. Like he need a “bro” (“manziere!”) or something.
O.K. Yeah. Might be a little gay.
September 13, 2007 at 8:12 pm |
WOW!!Hotties are right! My mouth dropped!
September 13, 2007 at 8:34 pm |
I love Ryan Braun. When he bats, he bends over to stretch his legs between just about every pitch. It’s mesmerizing, especially from behind. I can’t stop staring. Sometimes I even drool. I wish they’d show it on TV from that angle. They could have a camera that just follows around Ryan Braun’s ass – maybe picture-in-picture. I’ll shut up now.
September 13, 2007 at 8:55 pm |
no no j…. that sounded awesome.
September 13, 2007 at 10:23 pm |
In the third picture of Lenny K, I imagine that he’s looking down at himself and saying, “Thank you, God.”
September 13, 2007 at 11:13 pm |
What, no Sandy Koufax?
For shame.
Also, does Ryan Braun get eliminated since he’s not practicing, & not technically Jewish, even. (Mother Braun is a shiksa, Catholic even.)
September 14, 2007 at 12:07 am |
Why did you pick these particular sexy IBL boys? Looks like you have a thing for the tigers.
September 14, 2007 at 12:41 am |
Stu – Maybe he’s reform or humanistic. It is still a cultural identity.
Shiksakiller – 1) Nice name. 2) They had nice smiles. I could have posted more pics, because there were that many cuties.
September 14, 2007 at 1:34 am |
Out of the ones you posted, I would have a hard time picking between Scott and Josh. Scott has a sexy eyes and Josh looks like he has a great bod.
September 14, 2007 at 1:57 am |
Agreed. I think they are both California boys too, which is also a plus.
September 14, 2007 at 10:13 am |
*wipes drool off keyboard*
I’d like to know how I can get the job as the camera gal that follows Jim Edmonds ass around the field.
LOVE you girls!!! I’ll be back for more on a daily basis. You guys rock.

September 24, 2007 at 11:28 am |

September 24, 2007 at 12:34 pm |
Cutie Rootie Rocks!!!
October 10, 2007 at 1:46 pm |

December 18, 2007 at 6:18 pm |
Gabe Kapler looks like John Basedow, fitness guru.
—that made my evening.

Да уж… Тут как в пословице: Артель воюет, а один горюет :)
