Pitching in the Promised Land: A Story of the First and Only Season in the Israel Baseball LeagueIt was the first (and last) season of professional baseball in Israel. Aaron Pribble, twenty seven, had been out of Minor League Baseball for three years while he pursued a career in education when, at his coach's suggestion, he tried out for the newly formed Israel Baseball League (IBL). Of Jewish descent (not a requirement, but definitely a plus) and former pro, Pribble was the ideal candidate for the upstart league. In many ways the league
It was the first (and last) season of professional baseball in Israel. Aaron Pribble, twenty-seven, had been out of Minor League Baseball for three years while he pursued a career in education when, at his coach's suggestion, he tried out for the newly formed Israel Baseball League (IBL). Of Jewish descent (not a requirement, but definitely a plus) and former pro, Pribble was the ideal candidate for the upstart league. In many ways the league resembled the ultimate baseball fantasy camp with its unforgettable cast of characters: the DJ/street artist third baseman from the Bronx, the wildman catcher from Australia, the journeymen Dominicans who were much older than they claimed to be, and, of course, seventy-one-year-old Sandy Koufax, drafted in a symbolic gesture as the last player. After falling in love with a beautiful Yemenite Jew, enduring an alleged terrorist attack on opening day, witnessing a career-ending brain injury caused by improper field equipment, participating in a strike, and venturing into the West Bank despite being strongly advised against it, Pribble must decide whether to forgo a teaching career in order to become the first player from the IBL to sign a pro contract in the United States. His is a story of coming of age spiritually and athletically in one short season in the throes of romance, Middle Eastern politics, and the dreams of America's pastime far, far afield from home.Learn about Holy Land Hardball, a documentary on the Israel Baseball League.

The best 50 spf sunscreen!
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
This is the best 50 spf mineral sunscreen I have found! It really gives a barrier to prevent sunburn on the skin! I use this 50 spf sunscreen on myself my kids my husband! It stays on for a really long time! And on my horses with pink noses! The cream is light, a little watery in the palm. It feels light and is not sticky on the skin. The smell is lightly tropical, which are my favorite smells! It does leave a faint white color on the skin when you put it on. It does it’s job really good stopping a sunburn!

Great sunscreen, leaky bottle cap
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Great sunscreen. Smells good, but not overpowering. Best mineral sunscreen I’ve used—still a bit pasty, but rubs in better than any other brand.
The bottle design is horrible. The cap falls off with the slightest touch. If you like sunscreen in the bottom of your beach bag, the bottle is great.

Did not protect
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Product smells great and goes on better than most mineral sunscreens. It was labeled as "reef safe" so I assumed it would work well in water. It did not. After just a half hour in the Caribbean water, my skin was red. The product did not say "waterproof" so we decided to use it only when we were away from the beach. Unfortunately, even in the cold spring weather of our northern climate we still ended up with red skin. We had no choice but to throw away the rest of the bottle. Do not expect this lotion to protect you from the damaging rays of the sun.

Great sport block for sensitive skin
Size: 3.4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I use this whole playing tennis or pickleball, it might be a little much for everyday. Does not irritate my sensitive skin. Rich enough for dry skin. Very slightly white cast that quickly fades. Does not run or bother my eyes for sports. Basically perfect in all categories.
