Don't feel bad; they had me fooled, as well. But contrary to what certain Mossad operatives would have us go on believing, Hall of Famer, Rod Carew is not Jewish.
Let's see what the good folks at Wikipedia have to say:
Many sources have long claimed that he converted to Judaism when he married his wife and in this sense he is sometimes compared to Sammy Davis, Jr. as a famous "Jewish convert of color"; however, this is INCORRECT. He has NEVER undergone a formal conversion ceremony nor publicly identified himself as an adherent of Judaism; however, his children were raised Jewish and it is assumed that as such he partakes in some Jewish activities such as lighting Hanukkah candles or organizing Passover Seders with his family. Nonetheless, the story about him converting to Judaism is an URBAN LEGEND. He is named in one of Adam Sandler's Hanukkah Songs as "Hall of Famer Rod Carew!"
Rod Carew........ NOT A JEW. Don't get fooled again.

It's just a song, man. And a funny one at that. Why would I care if Rod Carew or Sammy Davis Jr were jewish? If you told me they were satanists, I still wouldn't give a damn.

I bet that little Tid Bit is a famous topic during Passover. Who the hell cares what this person believes and how does that effect you or anyone else. If the Guy is a liar then simply don't trust him with your kids. It ain't keeping me up nights.

Great answer here. Yahoo Answers is full of so much trash, it's nice to see some potpourri trivia on here.
