Haaretz profile of Leon Feingold
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz has profiles of the first six players to sign a contract with the Israel Baseball League, including former competitive eater Leon Feingold:
Now that he has signed to play baseball in Israel next summer, Feingold will suspend his competitive eating career. “It’s more important for me right now to focus on getting my body in shape for baseball than to get my body into shape for eating,” he explains. However, he would agree to a between-inning falafel eating contest next summer − “as long as I’m not pitching that day.”
