Jewish Sports Legends
University of Nebraska Press (Verlag)
978-1-4962-0188-1 (ISBN)
With photographs accompanying almost every sports personality, this fifth edition introduces some famous and some not-so-famous Jewish sports greats throughout history. More than eighty new entries have been added to the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame since 2005, among them Lyle Alzado, Max Baer, Ira Berkow, Kenny Bernstein, Sasha Cohen, Shawn Green, Donna Geils Orender, Aly Raisman, and Bud Selig. While most of those profiled are professional sport champions and Olympic gold medalists, the book also features great coaches, officials, journalists, and other significant contributors in every major sport.
Joseph Siegman is a Los Angeles–based entertainment executive. He founded the International Jewish Sports Hall of Fame in 1979 and is its past chairman. Mark Spitz set a multitude of swimming world records and is a nine-time Olympic gold medalist.
