PRO BASEBALL TO RETURN TO ISRAEL?

The Israel Association of Baseball announced it has entered into negotiations with a group of Americans headed by minor league baseball entrepreneur Marv Goldklang to develop plans for a return of pro baseball to the Middle East nation.


Pro baseball was tried in Israel in 2007, but the six-team league experienced financial problems and disbanded after completing its 46-game schedule that year.

According to IAB chairman Haim Katz, Goldklang’s group hopes to revive pro ball in Israel with a fully-staffed league and improved facilities over the next year or two.
