You can see a few Jewish Dodgers fans have paid their respects at this Catholic Cemetery.
Day 8

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

~9,954 miles walked
Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Hi Matt,
Yes, the stones. I do that, too, even though I am not Jewish. I also leave oranges, and have a toast at the site, pouring a share onto the grave.
Baseball for many is a religion unto itself. ;-)

Meet the Mets….Meet the Mets. Yea, like Karen Too said..i’m catholic…but I leave stones or twiggs too.
There are 2 Hells Angels buried in the same cemetery where my parents are and they have coins all over the tops of their stones. Guess it doesn’t matter your culture it’s still a sign of respect for the departed.
