S4E19: Sam Nahem - Jewish player pushing racial integration wins GI World Series in Nuremberg - WWII

Sam Nahem was a pitcher in the 1940s. He served in the Army Infantry in WWII and both managed and pitched for the OISE All-Stars. OISE won GI World Series which was played on the renamed "Soldier Field" in Nuremburg, Germany. Nahem was at the forefront of pushing for racial integration in baseball. He picked two Negro League stars for his team: Willard Brown and Leon Day (both Hall of Famers). Nahem was a Jewish player winning a championship in a stadium Hitler built. The power of that can't be overstated. #baseball #vintagebaseball #negroleagues #jewish #theathletearchives #mlb #vintagebaseball #vintagebaseballcards #ww2 #history
