A Jewish baseball player has the beginning and end dates of the Holocaust tattooed on his right leg. Gabe Kapler of the Boston Red Sox also has a Star of David on his left leg, according to the Boston Jewish Advocate. “I’d like to be recognized as a baseball payer first, but that’s out of my hands,” said Kapler, a reserve outfielder. “However, I do feel really lucky to be looked up to. Carrying the torch is special.”
