Behel was a 19th-century ballplayer who had a 2-year career in the majors: 9 games with Milwaukee of the Union League in 1884, and 59 with the New York Mets of the American Association in 1886. Behel is listed in the encyclopedia of JEWS in sports, but this web site has since been told that more recent research indicates he was not Jewish. One of the encyclopedia's authors, Jesse Silver, confirmed this information.
