But if it catches on, who knows what it might blossom into (call me an idealist).

The teams were very international in flavor (as they would have to be to come up with enough baseball players in Israel to populate a league). Many Americans, some Canadians, one prominent Aussie that I recall. Though I did not notice any Arabs, one would hope that some might join and become homeland heroes like the Cubans, Koreans, Japanese, Dominicans, etc. do who play in the American big leagues. Actual Arab teams could follow. Cool if Palestine, Lebanon, Jordan and Egypt took an interest. Maybe before I die?

Kudos to PBS (of all places to watch a baseball game???) for giving them a running start.
