The POTD is of Rabbi Daniel Eleff, famous for being the man behind Dan's Deals, throwing out a ceremonial first pitch at the beginning of the game. Eleff acquired the rights to this honor by bidding over a million Starwood Points, the equivalent of over $20,000. Eleff is from Cleveland and was rooting for the Indians.
It seems though that it was Chabad vs Chabad (According to COL Eleff is a Chabad hassid) and it seems that Chicago Chabad must have more influence in the higher spheres than Cleveland Chabad..
