It happened in 1996 in major legue game.
There were 3 men:
A - player at bat B - opposing team's catcher C - home plate umpire
Although it was only September, they could exchange New Year's greetings(and maybe they did it).
Explain how it was possible and name these 3 men.

So some parts of Africa (e.g. Ethiopia), Islam and Judaism all celebrate new years in September. The first African born player didn’t play till 2017.. Am I on the right track?

B - Jesse Levis C - Al Clark
All were Jewish.
That's correct.
The rest is wrong.
Remember, this happened in September.

Rosh Hashanah - Jewish New Year - moves around a bit every year on the secular calendar because the Hebrew calendar is a lunar calendar. In a non-leap year, there are 354 days, so the New Year would occur 11 days earlier than the prior year if the prior year were a non-leap year. In a Jewish leap year, an entire month is added (typically around March - a second month of Adar) - so Rosh Hashanah would occur on the secular calendar 19 days later than it did the prior year.
I can bore you with this stuff as much as you'd like.

Yes, Rosh Hashanah - the Jewish New Year. In 1996 it happened September 13-15.
Game in question took place September 18, 1996 - soon after. So these three man still could exchange New Years greetings.
Congratulation to my2cents and Lefteroo(thanks for detailed explanation concerning Rosh Hashanah) for answering the question.

Yes, mytwocents, I should have added that Rosh Hashanah will always fall in either September or October on the secular calendar. That's the main purpose of having the month added during leap years - it guarantees that all the holidays during the year occur during the same season every year. A leap year occurs on the Hebrew calendar 7 times every 19 years.
