	Sandy Koufax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sanford "Sandy" Koufax (IPA pronunciation: /'kofæks/), born Sanford Braun on December 30, 1935 in Brooklyn, New York, is one of the greatest left-handed pitchers in Major League Baseball history.
		Koufax's baseball career began with the Tomahawks in the "Pop" Secol's Ice Cream League; they already had a pitcher, so Koufax played catcher, using a right-handed glove turned inside-out because he was left-handed.
		Koufax made his major league debut on June 24, 1955, in the fifth inning against the Milwaukee Braves with the Dodgers trailing 7–1.

	Sandy Koufax
		Born in Brooklyn, New York, Koufax was a natural athlete as a child, excelling particularly on the basketball court, which helped win him an athletic scholarship to the University of Cincinnati.
		In the Series Koufax was widely praised for refusing to pitch Game One due to his observance of Yom Kippur, but was hit hard in Game Two as the Minnesota Twins took an early 2-0 lead.
		Koufax won his third Cy Young Award and third Triple Crown in 1966, going 27-9 with a 1.73 ERA and 317 strikeouts.

		Still, Koufax won his third Cy Young Award and third Triple Crown in 1966, going 27-9 with a 1.73 ERA and 317 strikeouts.

	ESPN Classic - Koufax's dominance was short but sweet
		Koufax was an elegant craftsman, brilliant to the extreme in the exercise of his talent, but an obsessively reluctant celebrity, less comfortable in the limelight than in the hermit-like world he fashioned for himself off the pitcher's mound.
		Koufax won three Cy Young Awards (at that time, it was for the best pitcher in the majors, not merely the league) and, if not for a finger ailment in 1962 and an elbow injury in 1964, he probably would have been voted the award all five years.
		Through all his success, Koufax hid behind what Ed Linn, who wrote Koufax's autobiography with the pitcher, called his "wall of amiability." That was Koufax's ability to be perfectly polite and accommodating while keeping everyone at arm's length and revealing little about himself.

	The Sporting News Archives - Pain and Koufax are like peas in a pod
		The plain fact of the matter is, Koufax shouldn't be throwing a baseball for a living.
		Sandy!s position is complicated by the fact that (1) he's sick and tired of talking about his arthritis; (2) he is anxious to throw off the image of the athlete-aesthete, the reluctant-pitcher image we truth-seekers have projected for him.
		Sandy will never show up during the winter months with a coon dog or chewing tobacco, but he means to spend the summer jamming the bat up the ears of those who do.

		Sandy Koufax is frequently described as a shy, introverted, and very private man. Perhaps because of this truth, it's hard to really get to know the real man...
		Sandy threw a great curve because of his "long fingers and overhead delivery." Sandy's lack of a good curve in the World Series forced him to "rely almost entirely on his fastfall." I can't tell you how many times I read this same information within the space of this short book.

		The narrative is so strong and compelling—helped in part by Koufax’ decision to retire at the top of his game and not endure a dwindling twilight—that it only strengthens the legend of a man who’s already a living legend.
		He carried himself as a professional and a gentleman, difficult to imagine in these days when those terms are nearly antonymns.
		In particular, Leavy argues that Koufax’ decidedly Jewish presence made him all the more willing to befriend and stand by the Black athletes who were beginning to make their mark in the big leagues.
