Gabe Kapler Is The Most Buff Jew Ever To Coach Major League Baseball

San Francisco Giants manager Gabe Kapler just coached the team to an all-time record 107 wins, the most ever in the 137 years of Giants’ existence. He is also totally Jewish. How Jewish is he? Of his 14 tattoos, one of them is a Star of David with a Hebrew inscription. Gabriel Stefan Kapler is also the most buff, ripped, and muscular Jew ever to coach a Major League Baseball team. 

This is a historical fact and we can prove it. There have only been eight Jews who have ever managed a Major League Baseball team. Here are the seven others, and as you can see, none of them has a set of fucking guns like Gabe Kapler.

You’ll notice that Oakland A’s manager Bob Melvin is on this list, which means that both Bay Area baseball teams are run by Jews. No one tell Ice Cube, he might get ideas!

Kapler was nicknamed “the Hebrew Hammer” in his playing days, though his playing career was mostly unremarkable. He bounced around the league and pretty much got traded every other season. He does have the distinction of being one of the nine players on the field when the Boston Red Sox broke the “Curse of the Bambino” and won their historic 2004 World Series.

The next year, the Red Sox would set a record for having the most Jewish players on the field in an American League game (with three; Kapler, Kevin Youkilis, and Adam Stern). This proliferance of Jews led to the infamous Dennis Leary “We got a Jewish first baseman!” rant seen below, which came at the height of the Mel Gibson scandals.

But the all-time record for the most Jewish players ever to take the field in Major League Baseball was set in 1941, when the New York Giants fielded four Jews in one game. That team would eventually go on to become…. your San Francisco Giants.
