LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Religious observance can aid excellence


ANALYSIS/OPINION:
Elie Kligman and Jacob Steinmetz should stand proud atop the pitcher’s mound and the history books (“Two Orthodox Jewish pitching prospects juggle baseball, religion,”Web, July 19). As their stories underscore, commitment to personal faith and professional pursuits ought never be considered mutually exclusive propositions. What’s more, Steinmetz’s father traces the discipline responsible for his son’s success on the baseball diamond to the young man’s relationship with religion. Kligman’s versatility as a pitcher-catcher, meanwhile, is rooted in his observance of Shabbat “as catchers are generally given a day off due to the demands of the position.”
