I wish my grandson was playing back in '93, when Michael Molovinsky was photographing the Allentown Jewish Community Center in action. He would do a much better job than I.
A minimalist, Michael will only publish one of three photographs he shared with me. I begged him to post them all, but that's not his style. His photos reveal the intensity and athleticism of the ball players. They also reveal Michael as a very gifted photographer. He's right up there with Dana Grubb and a few of the photographers I see from time to time, working for the dailies. To me, their work is art.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
I agree; cool shot. This CYO kid used to regularly mix it up with the JCCs in Easton. Great players, great games and great memories. I remember going to a basketball friend's temple for the first time and wondering if I'd go to hell for wearing a yarmulke just hours after serving Mass on Sunday. My friend was so proud to show off their Torah Scroll. My mom reminded me later that Jesus was a Jew and my salvation was more assured than ever for showing proper respect to my older spiritual brethren. The photo brought back memories of good friends and valuable lessons learned through sports. Thanks MM and BO for sharing.
