Shawn Green - the Mets starting right fielder this season - is one of the best-known Jewish-American major league ballplayers, and the most prominent one with the Mets since Art Shamsky played right field for the 1969 World Champion Mets. Of Jewish major leaguers, only Hank Greenberg, with 331 home runs and 1,276 RBIs, has more major league home runs and RBIs than Green, and only Buddy Myer has more hits. Green is arguably the best Jewish baseball player since Sandy Koufax.
