Mike Jacobs ISN'T Jewish? (Who knew?)

Oy Vey!

"The Marlins thought they were honoring their Jewish first baseman when they decided to give away Mike Jacobs T-shirts as part of Jewish Heritage Day at Dolphin Stadium this afternoon. One small problem — Jacobs isn't Jewish, a fact the Marlins would have learned if they'd asked Jacobs himself."

NY Daily News article clears the air ... sort of

"HAVE FAITH: The Marlins will distribute Mike Jacobs T-shirts to children tomorrow, on "Jewish Heritage Day." The problem? Jacobs isn't Jewish. When the ex-Met inquired about what seemed like an error, club officials insisted they were separate promotions. "They said it wasn't done intentionally, but I don't know about that," Jacobs said. "It's a big joke around here.""

============================

... though perhaps they've discovered the error in time

Their press release for their current homestand doesn't establish a link between Jacobs and "Jewish Heritage Day".  And none of their other "heritage" days are tied to any other player ...

At least they didn't offer the "Jewish Heritage" promo for their Friday night or Saturday afternoon games.
