On Khalil Greene: Not Jewish, but Baha'i

When I first heard the name "Baha'i," I thought it had something to do with Judaism. I soon learned otherwise.

Was at a Nationals/Padres game this week, and thought for a moment that I found a shortstop for my all-Jewish squad. There was some excited speculation that the Padres' Khalil Greene, who launched a 9th-inning two-run home run to tie the game, is Jewish. After a little googling, I learned that Greene is not Jewish, but is Baha'i.
