BASEBALL IN THE TIMES OF OUR FOREFATHERS
Compiled by Hyman S. Baras
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While baseball is generally considered a "modern" s****t, there are
references in the Bible that could lead one to deduce that, in fact,
baseball dates back thousands of years. Along the same line of thinking as
The Da Vinci Code, note the pattern of the following passages, which
clearly
illustrate that there were Giants in those days as well.
