I hopes you did cuz this happened after I got the HIV.

[MuslimLoveJewishCock]

@SukBonelessSausage :

yes, but first I fucked your mommy's filthy cunt. After I blew my load in her you licked it clean. Only then did Koufax come in and fuck you in the ass as you were sucking Shamsky's cock.

Let the truth be told. Don't hide your good fortune.

[1894ron]

The only one dislike had to come from an idiotic giants fan!!

[pukulu]

I saw Koufax pitch in Dodger stadium in 1962 in a doubleheader against the Phillies. I was 10 years old. Koufax struck out the side in the 1st inning. I had no idea just how good he was. Opposing hitters often remarked that it was an unfair contest going up against Koufax, who had a great fastball, a tight-spinning curveball and a good change-up, all thrown with great control.

[curtisjones400]

@pukulu I watched Koufax pitch in Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia against the Phillies in 1967-i was 13 years old-Koufax only allowed 2 hits-When he came out in the 9th inning the Philadelphia fans gave Koufax a standing ovation-that was true sportsmanship

[graciemaemarie11]

koufax was like the 76-77 canadiens, the 27 yankees,the 60's celtic's... here's a man who made a deal with the dodgers, by handshake, and turned down another team's better offer,because he gave them his WORD... this was a man....

[smittyman24]

is it just me or do the players from back then seem like they enjoyed the game and the interviews more than the current players?

[Nestor123057]

I'm interested to know what the one person who disliked this video found not to his liking.

[janmuldoon]

So humble....he was one of a kind. In a league of his own.

[loyaldude10]

@janmuldoon --and that humility wasnt just for show. He was all of that, and one of the nicest guys you would ever want to meet

[TaylorTalksTech]

I'm only 15 and I love baseball. And I know they were real ball players. They played because they loved the game and played it well.

[Bodogjoe]

For some reason I thought he was dead lol. I guess he just seems alot older because he retired so early.

[rpoet60]

pitching, defense, speed on the bases.... reminds me of today's Giants

[tastybrownies]

WOW. Compare the way the athletes acted back then to the way they do now....

[mmcckkgg]

Koufax, Gibson and Marichal are the 3 best pitchers I ever saw.

[graciemaemarie11]

@mmcckkgg i kind of agree, in that order, yes

[bennyvega100]

Koufax...simply put, a pitching GENIUS

[showme6917]

To bad he's a queer

[MuslimLoveJewishCock]

@showme6917

did you gives him a blowjob?

[JudyKhanSuckCoonDick]

@MuslimLoveJewishCock I heard that you sucked Dave Kingmans big dick many times when he was playing for the Mets.

[Topshelftom1]

@showme6917 I heard that your Queer too.

[HASHEM678]

SANDY KOUFAX, THE GREATER....שלום

[NPRMc]

This is great stuff!

[Boelcke1916]

In 1962, Koufax tried to get traded to the Boston Red Sox, calling the Dodgers: Bush leaguers."

[carlinrulez666]

@Boelcke1916

Really? Where did you find that out?

[Boelcke1916]

@carlinrulez666 That was my crude attempt at humor. Just joking. Sorry, but it seemed funny at the time. I won't tease that way again since that misled you. I was just being a wise guy.



[carlinrulez666]

@Boelcke1916

I was joking myself. I knew Koufax would never say anything bad about the Dodger's organization. If he would have really said that about the Dodgers, # 32 wouldn't be retired.

[moogamax]

Wasn't Johnny Roseboro the one who was attacked with a bat?

[bkj333]

The TV guys conducting these interviews were Rafer Johnson and Pete Miller.

[JerDem100]

Warren Spahn was one of the best lefthanders of all time. He was once asked, who was the greatest pitcher he ever saw. He quickly said, Sandy Koufax. He then added, "What do you think I am, crazy?"

Willie Mays added. "I couldn't hit Sandy, and I knew, as well as the whole National League knew, every pitch he was going to throw. And I still couldn't hit it.

Juan Marichal still says "Koufax was the Greatest. he ever saw

W Stargell Hitting Koufax was like drinking cofee with a fork

[artiebarnes]

Koufax, for SURE, greatest of ALL time! I saw him pitch maybe 10 times.

[harvestave]

I believe Warren Spahn was the greatest. Check his stats.

[lovesmusic36]

Thank you for posting this amazing footage. When Sandy Koufax retired, I stopped following baseball. A class act and a credit to the game. An absolute joy to be able to relive his glory days through this clip and equally wonderful to listen to him being interviewed.

[duncanstpt]

Sandy Koufax was always a class act. The real deal.

[jeffinseattle4]

Saw Koufax pitch in 66' against Houston ( I was 15). I still remember the game. Koufax had 10K and singled Lefebre in for the winning run in the bottom of the 9th.

I also saw Drysdale pitch a shutout 5-0 in a double-header, and also blasted a home run into the left-field stands. People forget Drysdale is arguably one of the best hitting pitchers in the game. I admit, I believe Sandy the greatest pitcher

of all time. Baseball will never be the same. No steroids/and pure talent. Today no talent.

[mso88]

I was looking for the August, '65 Marichal brawl footage and came across this. My Dad was a PCL umpire and I got meet Sandy Koufax after an Old Timers game in the clubhouse...one of the high points of my life! Koufax was the greatest pitcher ever!

[Jiltedin2007]

1966, a year Dodger Fans everywhere would want to forget!

[longbowgold67]

Has anyone ever noticed how similar Tim Lincecum's delivery is to Sandy's?

[Venge1348]

@longbowgold67 dont insult koufax...

[longbowgold67]

I just don't understand how he did it after he pretty much destroyed his throwing arm. Though I don't even understand how he destroyed it

[thfedexguy]

The best ever...and a class act.

[purleses]

the look Koufax gives his teammate at the 3:00 mark doesn't serve to dispel the gay rumors. I wonder if Koufax was gay before he converted to judasim or not.

[jacksoasis]

@purleses He never converted to Judaism--he was born Jewish.

[purleses]

Koufax was a German born Sanford Braun. When he was about 10 his mother re-married to a jew named Irving Koufax. Sandy wasn't jewish really.

[TheMadStork83]

@purleses Um...He was born in a jewish family...

[bennyg0405]

@purleses his birth mother was jewish...

[longbowgold67]

@purleses Are you kidding me? First of all you don't even have to be Jewish, which I am, to realize Braun is a Jewish last name! Are you stupid?

[ngrant33]

1:42 - 1:52 Greater words have probably never been spoken.  LOL

Can you guys imagine what Koufax would have been if they had the "trainers and medical staff" these little prima-donas have today??? WOW.

[artiebarnes]

I saw Koufax countless times in the 60's. I was a kid, obviously. Saw the 4th game of the '63 world series. Koufax vs. Ford. SO cool!

[uscpat]

That was the coolest damn video I've seen in a long time. Thanks so much for sharing it.

Koufax has been my favorite player in any sport since I was 10 years old in 1961.

Thanks again...

[drak1212]

Most dominant pitcher ever

[MrBaseballjoe]

Not maybe, he was the greats P of all time. Long career and stats to match

[truth2masses]

roseboro was a pretty polished guy.

[PAAKWAMEPAA]

Thank you so much for posting, now I know why baseball really is "America's Pastime."

-------- Brilliant

[rated1980]

I just turned 29 yrs old but as a dodgers fan MAN I WISH I WAS GROWING UP IN THE 60'S TO SEE THE GREAT DODGERS....

[truth2masses]

@rated1980 i saw them when they played the cubs! i also remember when buckner,cey,garvey and valentine came up! can't forget davey lopes!

[GreenHairRedScars]

It's one thing to hear about the old greats. It's another to see them live. It must have been great to see this era of Dodgers play. I would have liked to see Sand'y perfect game.

[lnefouse]

Capnuron..I agree, baseball WAS the National Passtime..but thats when the world was young..they were our heroes..Willie, Mickey and the Duke and so many more..I remember sneaking one of those 99 cent metal clip radios in school to listen to the World Series..yes, they were real men ..not steriod hyped gorrillas.

[UnlimitedWWE24]

hi

i was wondering if there was any footage of the 1965 brawl between the dodgers( baseball) and the San Fransisco Giants

[Grisostomo06]

This is absolutely fantastic! I was too young to understand baseball when Sandy was pitching and I regret never seeing him play but he was a legend and I read everything I could get my hands on when I was older. He was maybe the greatest pitcher the sport has seen.

[danolson68]

A truly remarkable piece of film footage. I really enjoyed that. Thank you!

[Capnuron]

i saw along with my family, Koufax pitch one of his four no-hitters. It was May 11, 1963. Dodgers shutout the Giants 8-0. Our seats were the box seats, the first row right behind the Giants dugout. Messers Mays, McCovey, Cededa, Marichal, et al, within a handshake's distance. Pretty cool. I was nine-years-old.

[redmunson15]

Think the players were better then?

[Capnuron]

Interesting question with many dimensions to the answer in my opinion. I'm not sure. But the game was better then. Considerably more pure than it is today. And way more innocent. It was a reflection of life, which was much more innocent and pure than life today. Without a doubt I'd much prefer paying to watch the likes of Koufax, Drysdale, Maury Wills, Mays, Marichal, Clemente, Stargell, Frank Robinson, Hank Aaron and the players of that era versus today's players, anyday. What do you think?

[halbie71]

Capnuron I have sometime in common with you....Along with my Dad, my Uncle Carl, I saw Koufax pitch his perfect game September 9, 1965. We sat in the top deck ar Dodger Stadium. I was 12 years old at the time.

[stevevandien]

WONDERFUL stuff. I'm a great admirer of Koufax and I love all these guys, but especially enjoyed Lou Johnson's interview. Sweet Lou was as great a clutch player as he was a character:).

Thanks very much for posting!

[detective29]

Truly enjoyed this video. It was like being transported back in time. Loved the footage of Ron Fairly hitting the HR off Bob Gibson. Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

[dbqJohn]

The greatest!!!!

[kronoscorvinus]

If the modern techniquesof "sports medicine" had been available then, Mr. Koufax would have been the greatest pitcher in baseball history, and I'm including "the Train", Christy, Grover, the "Rocket",and even Mr. Bob Gibson. He was a machine of 70% heart and 30% technique.

[joey3244]

No "ifs" and "would haves" needed here- Sandy Koufax is the greatest pitcher in baseball history. Sure his career was shortened by injury, but for what he did between 1961 and 1966- he is the greatest ever.

[kronoscorvinus]

I absolutely concur. He has earned the honor based on the yrs you cite!

[loyaldude10]

@joey3244 ---u got that right. of course if u define greatness with longevity included, then he isnt on the list. but for his peak in those yrs-----no one was as good. Bob Gibson would be my second choice, although rules/strike zone favored pitchers more in those days.

[doowaditti]

@joey3244

I agree,and I was a Giants fan living in San Fernando at the time.

i listened to Vin Scully and Dogget and I listened to the Perfect Game

Koufax vs Hendley.....Dodgers 1....Cubs ...0

[nakedBison69]

I agree with you, although I do think that had Sandy Koufax been able to extend his career, than there would have been no question at all that he was the greatest pitcher baseball ever saw. How sad that his career was cut short by his arthritis

[marinman39]

@nakedBison69 What he had was exactly the condition for which "Tommy John surgery" works very well. Nowadays, he get the surgery, he takes a year off, he pitches another 5 years or so. But there is nothing like going out winning 26 games to keep the legend fresh. Trust me his starts were EVENTS, he was in a special class of one guy, which you can hear in the interviews. It was wild just to see his fastball actually rise.

[nakedBison69]

but I bet he would have had many years, even a decade more, of very effective pitching. it reminds me of Mozart, who wrote his best music in the last months of his life, as his music was getting better and better, only to die at just 35 years old

[loyaldude10]

@joey3244 ---right. just taking into acct 62-66, he was by far the greatest. only thing he didnt have was longetivity. One could only guess what he would have been like and how long he could have pitched with advanced medicine such as arthroscopic surgery, Tommy John operation, etc.

[loyaldude10]

@joey3244 ---u r so rt on the $

[graciemaemarie11]

@joey3244 i agree, he was in a different class, he was the king

[koasti]

Sandy Koufax retired at 31. If he could have pitched until he was 43, he would have won 400 games. The best I ever saw.

[JimAsian1]

Sandy Koufax = Awesome

I got Johnny Roseboro's autograph

[jekel1]

great footage, thanks!

[OCdodgerfan88]

Legend

[Ariamaluum]

John Roseboro said that Ted Williams told him the real art of hitting.

[SconeMason]

This is awesome. Koufax, the greatest pitcher of all time, and a big smile on his face the whole time. No steroids in these fellas.

[packirsFan4]

i agree, sandy koufax the best pitcher 4 no hitters. now days the pitchers can barely have an era above 3 the whole season. sandy had a 2.76 as a career

[stevevandien]

Throughout 1966, Koufax endured agony from his arthritic elbow. He took anti-inflammatory drugs and pain relievers that made him "half-high," plus cortisone shots, just to endure his starts. He used so much pepper-derived capsaicin cream (fiercely pungent, pain-blocking HEAT) that the fumes drove his teammates away. (Lou Johnson once donned a capsaicin-soaked Koufax sweatshirt and promptly threw up!) And Sandy STILL shut down the National League's best hitters. Extraordinary:) --

[coreyagraph]

world series era: 0.90  8 games

[conni70]

@SconeMason...no steroids, but most ball players in the 60's were hooked on "bennies"...but it's human nature to take whatever substance, illegal or not, to try and get the physical and mental advantage in order to earn a bigger paycheck...

[cooljason2]

@SconeMason 30 game winner if he didn't get hurt

[Rightsideup]

Wow, the class is just second to none. Today it's all about self glorification and it's pathetic!

[SpartanResearch]

Wonderful posting! In September 1966, Drysdale won 4 games (w/ 2 shut-outs) and Koufax won 5 (w/ 1 shut-out). On final day of the season (Oct. 2) Koufax won again (for a total of 6 wins in the final 4 weeks) to clinch 3rd NL pennant for LA in 4 years. From 1962-66, Koufax won 3 Cy Young awards and Drysdale won 1 - and this when MLB awarded this to only one pitcher in all of baseball! For all of 1966, Dodger pitching staff only allowed 490 runs or just 3 per game! Amazing!

[removetube]

Wow, Great stuff! Thanks for posting!!!!

The games they're talking about are against the Pirates on sep. 15 and 16.

The dodgers won 5-3 and 5-1

The Pirates were a game and a half out, coming into the series, and lost 2 out of three.

[halbie71]

Sandy Koufax=Class Act!!!!

[squitzy]

rated1980. Sorry, I think I just posted you twice. The posts are slightly different. I thought that the first one didn;t get through.

[squitzy]

Wow!! Great stuff!! Is there anything else you have with Koufax in it? I am 59 years old. I remember him well. Probably the best lefty ever. Love the story from Oysterjoe with the door slamming at the Stick after Sandy had been bombed. That guy was respected even by the hated enemy. They definitely do not make 'em like that anymore.

[oysterjoe]

Saw Koufax vs. Marichel one fridgid nite at Candlestick. Bottom of the 1st Koufax gives up 5 or 6 runs. Alston takes him out and as he walks down the right field line to the clubhouse door you could hear a pin drop. Absolute respectful, stunned silence. Then he opened the door, exiting, slamming the door so hard it's echo reverberated around. I'll never forget it. The game and the players ain't the same, now

[rated1980]

great video i wish i was alive in the 60's to see my dodgers in the glory days..where can i find more footage like this can anybody tell me?

[wjb4341]

Great vid .... thanks for posting. Players back then really come accross as true professionals with class and dignity. Unfortunately players today seem like Bushers in comparison.

[CanterburyCat]

I think that your notes indicate that the first interview is Walter Alston -- it isn't. It's Lefty Phillips.

[jpcfit]

Ths was great; I can't get enough of baseball footage from the 60's.

[sg15fan]

awesome video. its so cool to see sandy in an interview, you can really see that reclusive side of him in it.

[Sonicman1979]

Thanks for posting. Brings back great memories of a time when baseball was truly special.

[Muffinrider]

Where has the humility in sport gone?

What a pleasure listening to these guys speak.

[tonyoandkitty]

Marvelous - great clip! The players' demeanors, the lowkeyed interviews, and the way the game was played all offer insights into 1960s major league baseball!

[Fit4Life1967]

Great stuff! Thank you for posting.
