Things were so very different before the days of free agency. Imagine a team with deep pockets in those days, they could very well have signed Koufax and Palmer to be in the same rotation.
@showme6917 - No .... I know you are not joking, but only referring to a nasty rumor that is completely baseless and not supported by any facts. Koufax was an is a very private person which makes for an easy target of this type of rumor. Rumors like this are normally started and spread by gays (because gays gossip like HS girls, and because they would love for them to be true). Why would you want to repeat it? Nobody who knows or played with Koufax thinks his is gay. THAT is a fact.
@wjb4341 . Well, Phil Pepe (Jewish and straight) wrote a column about Sandy having a Gentile father during the 1963 World Series. Most said the same thing about his father being Irving Koufax. However, close inspection, revealed that his father was Jack Braun and that Irving was his step-father since 9 years old. Point is: whether true or not, it is up to us fans not to give a damn. Heteros spread rumors of ancestry!
@Ariamaluum Phil Pepe told me that Sandy Koufax was a born again bisexual who once was caught allowing Ted Kluszewski to sodamize him with his 13 inch Polish sausage.
@cmf43210. Phil is a Yankee lover and he did anything to demean Sandy because he is a Dodgers. But Phil did put out evidence concerning his father. Obama like? As for the bi-sexual stuff. No evidence yet. Point is. Phil is a Yankee first. He doesn't talk about any of the Yankees concerning good ole George and his orientation or the rest of the Yankees. Geez. By the way, Phil and Sandy both graduated from the same high school, LaFayette in Brooklyn. Jealousy.
@Ariamaluum Phil Pepe doesnt know the Sandy Koufax from the last thirty years as he became a born again bisexual and has had numerous male gay partners who Koufax has had sexual relationships with.Dave Kingman,Dick Pole,Art Shamsky,Ron Blomberg,Jim Lefevre and other former baseball greats are all rumored to be some of Sandys butt buddys.
@cmf43210 Sandy Koufax retired to spend all his time buttphucking Roy Campanella in his wheelchair who couldnt prevent Sandy so he just sat back and unloaded in Koufax's mouth.
Not only was this game a shutout, but Wally Bunker and Dave McNally followed with shutouts after this game, 1-0, and 1-0. What is notable about the forth game were two great homerun saving catches by Paul Blair and Willie Davis.
At the time, Sandy was a sure Hall of Fame pitcher. Jim was the rook - I wonder how many thought he would also be a Hall of Famer. Jim developed arm troubles early in the 1967 season and many thought his career would be over. He mad a remarkable comeback in 1969 and the rest is history. Both, Sandy and Jim were great pitchers as well as gentlemen with a lot of class.
@Scoclamor ---he was SO finished by then---he was done in 1984, as the O's cut him. He was making noise about hooking up w/ the Phils or Mets but never did. He couldnt pitch w/ the pain
@loyaldude10 Oh, I thought the Orioles just plain old released him.
"When you stop throwing good pitches, you start throwing bad ones", Jim Palmer
Only pitcher to appear in ALL three Oriole World Series victories. Heck, he's the only pitcher to appear in every World Series that the Orioles have appeared, 1966, 1969, 1970, 1971, 1979, 1983!
@Scoclamor ---rt---that iswhat I meant---they released him midway thry 84 season. Fitting that hewas the only player, not just pitcher, to appear in all 6 of their WS. Thanks for pointing that out
@McGlasshole Agreed. . . to a point. I am not buying the statement you made about Sandy & Jim both having class. Sandy did (and still does), but Palmer was one of the biggest, most arrogant, self-promoting assholes to ever wear a MLB uniform. Worse than Gary Carter.
@rayjr62 that very Ironic because your hermaferditic parents told me they conceived you through having anal sex which means that you are partial to self promoting,smoking assholes that you accuse Jim Palmer and Gary Carter of being.How about Reggie Jackson,Pete Rose,Steve Garvery,Rickey Henderson,etc,they were not self promoting?
@rayjr62 baseball had true heroes in the 1970s when people like Jim Palmer took less money and stayed in small market venues like Baltimore and gave his life to baseball.If this is an arrogant,self promoting asshole than maybe you need a shot in the ass from Jose Canseco of HGH,Andro and perhaps a blowjob from a midget porn star as your sense of judgement on humans is ass backwards.
@rayjr62 --Palmer was a bit arrogant and self-centered, but overall he wasnt a bad guy. Gave Earl Weaver a hard time, babied himself a little, but nothing like present day athletes. He was a competitor and a winner. Very intelligent guy---could have been a great pitching coach, but I guess he preferred broadcasting---much easier.
I remember the game well. Palmer was a 20 year old kid who won 15 games for the O's that season. Koufax was the CYA winner, who won 27 and fanned 317. Palmer and the Orioles shut the door on the Dodgers 6-0, in what would be Sandy's last game.
@McGlasshole ---it was a shocker, as the experts had the Dodgers favored, despite the team having so little hitting. They were ptob worn out and exhausted from that tight pennant race that went to the last day of season. Koufax was hurting when he pitched this gtm, even more than usual. Boog Powell said---he may have been hurtin but he was bringin. Sandys was one of the classiest acts in all of sports, as well as the greatest pitcher in history (if you just look at 1962-66 yrs)
@loyaldude10 Got that right on Koufax. Now he was pretty good, too in '61. Funny, even earlier, when he was wild and played in a tough ballpark, he was tough to hit and had a lot of, well, the first letter of his last name, plural!
