The Modi'in Miracle defeated the Petah Tikva Pioneers in the inaugural game of the Israel Baseball League on Sunday. Would've started on Saturday, but they told those fucks down at the league office a thousand times that they sure as shit don't roll on Shabbos.Pioneers manager Ken Holtzman (yes, that Ken Holtzman) couldn't have been happy when his opening day pitcher Abel Moreno gave up seven in two and a third (free Ryan Butkowski!), but he must've plotzed when this happened:
The Pioneers' low point perhaps came in the top of the fourth, when several players started to leave the field after the second out in the inning, allowing a Modi'in baserunner to advance before the players caught on.
Oy, it's going to be a long season in Petah Tikva!
