JD Talkin Sports #1974

Send JD a text message and be heard! On today’s @ivangluck18 a survivor 87 years young has a simple credo: love each other, always assist others to reach their goals and the good guys will win. When the Nazis came to Hungary they didn’t care if Jewish people were reformed, conservative or orthodox. He has been a @nyrangers fan since immigrating to NYC and learned the game of which led to a tryout invitation from the @detroitredwings but instead chose faith and family over a potential @nhl career. Hockey taught him life lessons: a game of inches, teamwork, camaraderie and unity whether winning or losing. When you get knocked down you get back up. He practiced with the Jerusalem Capitals before the @theofficialiehl last year & @waynegretzky sent a message to the team and Mr. Gluck. At 67 he tried out for the Israeli baseball league. Ran the 100 yard dash and finished 7th out of 85. Was solid with the bat and glove too. He has spoken to students in Florida where he resides about the Holocaust and told me a great story where it led to a connection with the @flapanthers GM Bill Zito. His passion for life is infectious. We have both dealt with antisemitism and one time used his brains to show some bullies that polio was invented by a Jewish doctor, Dr. Jonas Salk. The fight was averted. All sports. One podcast. (even hockey) PODCAST LINK ON ITUNES:
