White-maned Dr. Solomon Schechter, the seminary's president, took special pains with the shy scholar [Rabbi Louis Finkelstein]. Walking with him on the street one day, Dr. Schechter stopped at a newsstand to read the latest World Series scores. "Can you play baseball?" he asked. "No," admitted Finkelstein. "Remember this," said the old man. "Unless you can play baseball, you'll never get to be a rabbi in America."
