    inCommon With Mike Leonard episode 2: Acceptance

    Can a tony suburb on Chicago’s north shore accept the unconventionality of grown men playing wiffle ball in Mike’s front-yard every Sunday -– in a makeshift ballpark he created himself?  Is this crazy?  Is this acceptable among the well-manicured lawns of a well-traveled street? 

    Winnetka to Israel – Mike connects the journey across continents with the common ground of sports.  Acceptance and even friendship grow among Arab & Israeli children who bond as teammates in a sports camp set amidst swirling sectarian violence just outside their oasis of peace.
