He was very comfortable with baseball.<br /><br />BTW, there was a picture of him holding a lulav and esrog, among pictures of other gedolim, where he was holding the esrog in his left hand. His grandson pointed out that the magazine had flipped the negative: everyone knew that Rav Sheinberg was a lefty. And then he quoted: "bats right, throws left."<br /><br />When ba'alei tshuva would come to him with issues of parnasa, he would tell them about when he used to sell newspapers on street corners, and point out that, "When it comes to parnasa, I know where it's at."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
