Nate Fish: From Brooklyn artist to a leader of Israeli baseball
It may seem like a stretch for someone who was once a Williamsburg-Bushwick visual artist to now be living in Israel and to call himself “The king of Jewish Baseball.”
But not if you consider that Nate Fish was always an athlete, and was coaching teams even when he was invovled in the arts. In fact, that’s what led him to Israel in the first place.
By the “King of Jewish Baseball,” Fish does not mean that he’s preoccupied with old-time Jewish major-league greats like Moe Berg and Hank Greenberg, although, of course, he respects these figures. Rather, he’s trying to build interest in playing baseball in Israel among all age levels, from children to adults.
