The MTA Sabermetrics Club (“saber” is an acronym for the Society of American Baseball Research) attended the Yankees game on Tuesday night, May 23. Aside from the fun of the game itself, in which the Yankees came back twice, finally tying the game on an Aaron Judge homer in the ninth and then winning in the tenth, the game presented the club with a unique opportunity to learn the analytical aspect of the game.

The yeshivah’s administration extends gratitude to Principal Rabbi Avraham Fridman and Assistant Principal of Curriculum Mrs. Susanna Yakubova for organizing and executing this wonderful event. A special thanks goes out to moderator Mrs. Ruth Konowitz, and Mrs. Anna Sabzanov, who decorated the ballroom beautifully for the occasion.
