Russell Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of the Jewish National Fund, was spotted today sitting in the lobby of the five-star fancy-shmancy King David Hotel in Jerusalem late Friday afternoon, prompting speculation that he may be throwing out the first pitch in the delayed, and shortened to five-days, Israel Baseball League show festival now set to begin Sunday evening.The close relationship between the JNF and the IBL, now led by controversial and mysterious Boston businessman David Solomont, has begin to whip up even more controversy since it was claimed in the latest controversial IBL press release:
"Tickets will be sold at the door with all proceeds to benefit JNF's Project Baseball."
Our Man Elli In Israel has also confirmed a reader's comment (thank you!) that IBL veterans (Solomont's "All-Star" team) Shoeless Leon Feingold, Bryan Pinchuk, Willis Bumphus, David Kramer and Josh Doane are in Israel while, for some reason, Ray Rodriguez and Mike Lyons didn't make their flights.

So, when is your man Elli gonna do some crack reporting and publish an interview of Russell Robinson answering some tough questions?
Where does "Shoeless" come from for Feingold?
One-spike would be more appropriate since he did pitch in a game at Gezer wearing only one spike and a running shoe after he forgot one of his spikes in his room.
