But Why Are Cleats Traef?

Maybe Barry Levinson needs a new project to work on, in which case he can explain it:

At a nearby table, Kosher League alum Ezra Friedman, 17, nodded in agreement with Mr. Williams’ view that children are often more competitive than their parents, willing to play no matter what.

“In one game, we had to play without shoes, because cleats were not allowed,” said Friedman, who claims he hit a game-winning home run while his mother ran home to get shoes.

Or maybe I’m misreading it . . . with Kosher rules you can never tell. (But what a solid image to start a script with!) (We could call it Kosher Cleats!)
