A shande (Yiddish for “a shame”).

Of course, everyone knows Nimoy, who grew up in a observant Jewish home in the Boston area, as Mr. Spock. But one of his earliest appearances came in an uncredited role in the 1951 baseball feature film. Rhubarb. Pay careful attention at the 2:08 mark.

Fans of the Spock character know the back-story of the “Live Long and Prosper” Vulcan salute.
