Greenpoint's Hasidic Jews Take the Field
On sunny summer weekends, dozens of folks gather in Brooklyn's McCarren Park to play a little ball. They're part of the Greenpoint Neighborhood Softball League. Some have been coming since 1971, dressed in sweatpants and jerseys representing their team. But in recent years, some players have been showing up in formal black loafers, dress pants and white button-down shirts. They're called the Stormers, a team of young, mostly Hasidic Jews. Pauline Bartolone went to one of their games and filed this report.

What a shame "these few hours wer'e like the spanish". Satamar rav z"l is turning in his grave. I know there going to be some that are going to say I am sheltered and naive, but one who learns knows that we must be respectful to everyone, but not mingle with non Jews, they have a influence, if you realize it or not. Also, remember, Eisov Soneh L'yakov.
