I don't think he's Jewish

edit

I remember reading SI or something in a plane once and there was an article about the relative infrequency of Jewish MLB players. I believe the author mentioned that LaCoss used to get angry when he was referred to as Jewish because he adopted his stepfather's last name but did not actually convert to Judaism. I wish I could provide more info, but it might be worth looking into. 71.72.83.57 (talk) 23:37, 6 August 2010 (UTC)MattReply
