47. Online NewsHour: Conversation: "Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy"
CONVERSATION LEFTY'S LEGACY. October 21, 2002. Media correspondent Terence Smithinterviews Jane Leavy about her new book on baseball legend sandy koufax.
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/conversation/july-dec02/leavy_10-21.html
CONVERSATION: LEFTY'S LEGACY
October 21, 2002
Media correspondent Terence Smith interviews Jane Leavy about her new book on baseball legend Sandy Koufax.
TERENCE SMITH: On September 9, 1965, Sandy Koufax of the Los Angeles Dodgers threw a perfect game. 27 men came up to bat; 27 men went down no runs, hits, walks, or men on base. The Dodgers beat the Cubs 1-0, and would go on to take the World Series. It was Koufax's fourth no- hitter, a feat which cemented his place as the greatest pitcher of his era, and, some would argue, of all time. The famously reclusive Dodger is captured in a new book, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy. The author is sportswriter and novelist Jane Leavy. Jane, welcome to the broadcast. JANE LEAVY: Thank you. TERENCE SMITH: What made Sandy Koufax so special, both as a pitcher and a person? TERENCE SMITH: And you should explain that he did so because he had, what, terrible arthritis. JANE LEAVY: What they called it in those days was traumatic arthritis, and he injured his arm sliding back into second base in August, 1964. It was never the same after that. But sports medicine was really medieval in those days. All they had was ice, which was a new innovation in keeping swelling down, and they could shoot the cortisone directly into his elbow joint. And they put on this stuff called Capslun, a paste made of red hot chili peppers that smelled so bad and burned so much that when Jim Kott went to shake his hand in the 1965 World Series, he had to run away. It felt like camphor. And he said he couldn't be near him, and he just walked away.

More on Sandy Koufax

Koufax's dominance was short but sweet
By Larry Schwartz

Special to ESPN.com
If one were to put music to a career, the dominant notes in Sandy Koufax's would most effectively be reached with violins. For Babe Ruth, it would be base drums for obvious reasons. But for Koufax, violins bittersweet and vaguely ambiguous, like gypsy music. Who says you can't get much better once you've reached the major leagues? Sandy Koufax was just 36-40 with 405 walks in 691 2/3 innings his first six years. Koufax was the J.D. Salinger of baseball. He 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. Like Salinger, author of the classic "The Catcher in the Rye," Koufax was given over to public adulation only a short time as careers go (Koufax's was ended by injury at age 30). He was a performer so true to himself that, in the end, he refused to let money change him or make him linger. When he knew he was damaged goods, he decided his career was over, not the Los Angeles Dodgers. At the peak of his game, he passed up a guaranteed salary for 1967 and simply walked away. Conquering batters had not been so simple. For much of his first six seasons, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound left-hander languished on the bench. Finally, in 1961, he showed the first consistent signs of greatness, striking out a National League record 269 batters. Then, in his final five seasons, he dominated.

    All-Time Allstars - Sandy Koufax By Geyv Kathoke
    Lethal lefthanders have been among the best pitchers in the business. You only have to look in the Major Leagues today, and you come up with Randy Johnson, David Wells and John Rocker. Sandy Koufax was perhaps the greatest of them all.
    Sandy Koufax was brought up by the Dodgers in 1955 at the tender age of 19. His first five years, spanning the move of the Dodgers to LA, were unremarkable. A combined 36-40 record and a 4.09 ERA gave little warning of what was to come. Then as if from nowhere Koufax found his groove. From 1961 thru 1966 he went 109-47, his ERA dropped to an astounding 2.24. During that period he went to the World Series four times and pitched 8 games, he went the full distance in four of those games, had a 4-3 record and a, wait for it, 0.95 ERA.

    e-mail this article It's the Game, Stupid "Baseball is chess at 90 miles per hour."
    The Head Game: Baseball Seen from the Pitcher's Mound S andy Koufax was a great pitcher and a good man. Jane Leavy makes this abundantly clear in her book, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy . He worked hard, kept his nose clean, won games and was paid a hefty sum of money to do so. He racked up impressive stats, loved his mother and observed religious holidays. While his story is a nice contrast to the headline-making antics of John Rocker or Albert Belle, it's also a little . . . well . . . dull. Biographies about living subjects are tough to pull off. They usually fall into one of two categories unauthorized exposé or fawning tribute and offer few surprises. Leavy's book is a tribute and she covers the requisite bases: Brooklyn boyhood, Jewish role model, failing arm. She also talked to a lot of his friends. They all think Sandy pitched fast and was a great guy. Yawn. There is nothing new here about the man. Yet the book is good. Leavy steers clear of humdrum by weaving a real-time narrative of Koufax's 1965 perfect game through the chapters on his life a story within the story. The glory and thrill of this pivotal game against the backdrop of a troubled country Watts, assassination and war all loom large is ultimately what carries her book.
