Baseballidays

Handmade baseball Judaica

Baseballidays is the work of Gregg Garfinkel, a Woodland Hills, California, attorney who turns real baseballs into art. The Judaica began with a little math: a menorah has nine branches, and a baseball game has nine innings.

It started with a fundraiser. His sons played high school baseball, and the team sold Christmas trees each holiday season. On a whim, Garfinkel made a wreath from the extra baseballs around the house, posted it on Facebook and sold it for $100. Baseball trees, snowmen and wreaths followed, but he wanted something his own family could use, so he added baseball Judaica.

Everything is handmade. His Pro Baseball Bat Menorah uses a professional baseball from a game or practice as the shamash, with a miniature wooden bat under each candle holder. There's also a colored-bat menorah, a seder plate on a home-plate base, Star of David keychains stitched from deconstructed baseballs, and a hockey menorah made with real pucks. A memorable commission: two menorahs for Rob Rosen, son of 1953 MVP Al Rosen, made from commemorative bats issued in his father's name.
