Baltimore Orioles pitcher Dean Kremer, whose family is from Israel, spoke about the declaration of war in the country as he prepares to start Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers on Tuesday.
"I still want to pitch, but, I mean, it's going to be in the back of my head," Kremer told reporters on Monday.
Israel formally declared war on Hamas, an Islamist militant organization based in Palestine, after the group launched a surprise attack over the weekend that has resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people in the country so far.
