Comedian Lewis Black to rant at Sixth & I Historic Synagogue

Though he now resides in New York, Lewis Black is not much of an advocate of the Big Apple’s baseball teams. The comedian grew up in Silver Spring and is a fan of the Orioles and the Nationals. And like any Baltimore Colts fan with a long memory — if one is a Baltimore Colts fan, a long memory is a necessity — he doesn’t recognize the Indianapolis Colts as a football team. Even Lewis’ support of the Nats is tentative.

“I like the Nationals, but if you take two teams away from me during my lifetime out of Washington, don’t expect me to get that excited until they’re there 50 years,” Black said during a recent phone interview.
