Sandy Koufax

[bradleyevan777]

One of he best books I have ever read is about our man Sandy. Sandy-Koufax- by Jane-Leavy

Also the movie "For the Love of the game" with Kevin Costner is an excellent Hollywood tail of what it may have all been about.

Could not agree more...a true artist and a gentleman. I was 10 years old in 1962, sa lerft handed little league pitcher and he remains my hero to this day. I went to sleep with the transitor radio under my pillow every game that he pitched

[greatsanchini]

If my life depended on one game, and I could pick any pitcher in history, in their prime, to start it, Sandy Koufax is taking the mound. On two-days rest, if necessary. And I'm making dinner plans for the next evening.

while pitching bp in spring training for the dodgers at age 55 he was clocked at 85 mph. not too bad,sandy.

In a class all by himself. The greatest pitcher ever!

[shmoriy]

Best pitcher of all time, no steroids either

[mgwilliams1000]

Hank Aaron said his curveball was "un-hittable". He called him the best pitcher he ever faced.

[doowaditti]

@mgwilliams1000 I think Hank had it right.Being a Giants fan,I am going to look up what Willie Mays had to say,I think it will be the same.

[attjiujitsu]

[skywoof7]

The pitch to Mantle was considerably inside. Sandy was great though!
