Book Description
In an era when too many heroes have been toppled from too many pedestals, Sandy Koufax stands apart and alone, a legend who declined his own celebrity. As a pitcher, he was sublime, the ace of baseball lore. As a human being, he aspired to be the one thing his talent and his fame wouldn't allow: a regular guy. A Brooklyn kid, he was the product of the sedate and modest fifties who came to define and dominate baseball in the sixties. In Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy, former award-winning Washington Post sportswriter Jane Leavy delivers an uncommon baseball book, vividly re-creating the Koufax era, when presidents were believed and pitchers aspired to go the distance. He was only a teenager when Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley proclaimed him "the Great Jewish Hope" of the franchise. But it wasn't until long after the team had abandoned Brooklyn that the man became the myth. Old-fashioned in his willingness to play when he was injured and in his acute sense of responsibility to his team, Koutax answered to an authority higher than manager Walter Alston. When he refused to pitch the opening game of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, he inadvertently made himself a religious icon and an irrevocably public figure. A year later, he was gone done with baseball at age thirty. No other sports hero had retired so young, so well, or so completely.

(CBS) Award-winning former sportswriter Jane Leavy visits The Early Show on Monday to talk about her new book, "Sandy Koufax, A Lefty's Legacy."
For six years in the early and mid-1960s, Koufax put together arguably the best run of success a Major League pitcher has ever had. Koufax retired suddenly after the 1966 season due to arthritis in his left (pitching) arm.
He was seemingly at the height of a career which began as pretty ordinary. He spent five years with the Dodgers in Brooklyn (where he grew up) and Los Angeles without getting much of a chance to show his ability before he became baseball's best pitcher, rivaling Willie Mays and Hank Aaron as its biggest star. Like his career, his most "perfect" night, Sept. 9, 1965, began as a pretty ordinary one, but might have been the brightest moment of his comet-like career. Koufax threw a perfect game that night, a baseball rarity, and Leavy chose the story of the perfect game to serve as the axis around which the book revolves. On Monday, don't miss rarely seen footage of Sandy's perfect game, shot by a team trainer. The game was not televised and for many years it was thought there was no moving video from that night.

Playing in his hometown of Brooklyn, NY, the young Koufax was little used and plagued by control problems. When the team moved to the West Coast, he began showing flashes of brilliance - still, while the Dodgers were in explosive Memorial Coliseum, his numbers weren't terrific. From 1958 to 1960, his ERA was above the league average in each season and he lost more games than he won. In 1961, following the advice of part-time Dodger catcher Norm Sherry to let up on his speed to gain control, he went 18-13 and led the NL in strikeouts with 269. When the team moved to spacious Dodger Stadium in 1962, Koufax made one of the great leaps of baseball history. Between 1962 and 1966, the maturing ace led the NL in wins and shutouts three times each, complete games twice, and strikeouts four times. His 382 strikeouts in 1965 set a new modern day ML record. He broke record that had stood for 61 years, ever since Rube Waddell struck out 347 in 1904.

Posted 2/12/2003 5:24 PM Excerpt from 'Sandy Koufax' Chapter One Warming Up On this particular day in February 1997, he was at Dodgertown for a seminar on sports medicine. He had been recruited by Frank Jobe, the Dodgers' team physician, to teach an audience of biomechanical experts how to throw a ball. He couldn't very well say no: he was on Jobe's operating table at the time. He had torn his rotator cuff falling down the stairs. The Boys of Summers Past are not immune to senior moments. Thinking of Koufax as clumsy is as disconcerting as the sight of the familiar "32" confined to this minimalist stage: sitting behind a buntingdraped table in a multipurpose room at what is now known as the Conference Center at Dodgertown. He looked thinner than in memory, thirty pounds less than his playing weight, the legacy of an afterlife as a marathoner. The old baggy uniforms always made him look less imposing than he was. His hair was thinner too, but silver, not gray. He had the appearance of a man aging as well as one possibly can, somehow managing to look graceful in uniform while perched beside a droopy fern. His virtuosity was a synthesis of physiognomy and physical imagination. He didn't just dominate hitters or games. He dominated the ball. He could make it do things: rise, break, sing. Gene Mauch, the old Phillies skipper, was once asked if Koufax was the best lefty he ever saw. Mauch replied: "The best righty, too." As Billy Williams, the Hall of Famer, put it: "There was a different tone when people talked about Sandy Koufax."

Koufax Becomes Even More An Inspiration Chicago Tribune October 17, 2002 I n the 1980 comedy movie "Airplane!" a flight attendant passing out reading material is asked about one particularly tiny pamphlet. She replies that it's a book about famous Jewish sports heroes of the 20th Century. Never mind Hank Greenberg, who hit 58 home runs in a single year, champion boxers Max Baer, Benny Leonard and Harry Greb or even swimmer Mark Spitz, who won more gold medals in a single Olympiad than any other athlete. The legend persists, especially among Jews, that Jews are a race of klutzes. Which is just one reason Sandy Koufax moves us so.
The virulent anti-Semite Henry Ford once said: "Jews are not sportsmen. Whether this is due to their physical lethargy, their dislike of unnecessary physical action or their serious cast of mind, others may decide." But Koufax, as lovingly detailed in Jane Leavy's new biography, "Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy," rebutted this collection of cliches with exceptional class and grace. He was so good he inspired spiritual tributes. A 1999 Sports Illustrated cover story called him "The Left Arm of God." Outfielder Jimmy Wynn once described his curveball as "a mystic waterfall." I grew up in the 1950s and '60s in the Fairfax district of Los Angeles, a deli-studded niche where my grandmother conversed in Yiddish with most merchants and where Orthodox Jewish family men in black fedoras and long coats strolled the sidewalks.

http://www.sportsplacement.com/koufaxnews&events.htm
What do SPS clients Mark McGwire, Muhammad Ali, and Sandy Koufax have in common? All three recently inked deals for the distribution and marketing of their signatures with Steiner Sports Marketing based out of New York. Sports Placement made the deals with Steiner Sports based upon their ability to not only reach the hobby, but all Sports fans, as well as Corporate America. SPS Chairman, Harlan J. Werner had this to say about the three landmark deals. "Based upon Steiners track record, and ability to move signatures of elite athletes, we felt a strategic alliance for our clients with Steiner would be a good fit. Collectors, dealers, and distributors will now have the chance to purchase autographs with both the Steiner Seal and that of Online Authentics, the official authenticator of the major league players association. These deals will go into effect immediately. Pitcher Perfect: Sandy Koufax overcame constant, seating pain to become the greatest pitcher of his time Sports Illustrated September 9,2002 After Sandy Koufax mastered his remarkable fastball, the lefthander enjoyed a five-year stretch that was perhaps the most dominating of any pitcher in baseball history. Between 1962 and '66, Koufax went 111-34, led the league in ERA each season, pitched four no-hitters including a perfect game in 1965 and won three Cy Young Awards. But traumatic arthritis in his left elbow threatened to leave him permanently disabled, and Koufax retired after the 1966 season, at the age of 30.

All Things Queer
MEMO KOUFAX: SEE CRUISE
Let me start by saying that you have no idea how much I love baseball. Not only that, I have lived and breathed the Dodgers since the mid-60s, whch, needless to say, included a very excellent pitcher named Sandy Koufax. In fact, it was his exploits, mentioned in a comic strip, read to me by my father, that started me on my path of baseball, and Dodger baseball, fandom. Sandy Koufax, who refused to make a start during a World Series game scheduled on Yom Kippur, the holiest of Jewish holidays. A role model to so many, and in so many ways. To this day I still live and breathe each season, and participate in many a baseball "fantasy" league so that I might totally saturate myself with baseball while there is baseball to enjoy. Imagine my dismay then when I first read that Sandy Koufax was severing all ties with the Dodger organization, an organization with which he had been involved for almost 50 years. "What could they have done!?" I asked myself. Then, I learned that it was because of a gossip item in the New York Post, not the Dodgers themselves.

"In an age of promiscuous self-promotion," writes Sandy Koufax's newest and best biographer, Jane Leavy, "a woman dressed as the Cat In The Hat who stands outside the Today Show studios with a poster announcing 'I am having breast cancer surgery tomorrow' is thought normal. A man who opts out of celebrity, declining to prolong or exploit his allotted fifteen minutes, is thought odd. There must be something wrong. Something hidden." America as usual, wanting it both ways, always. Let a stratospheric achiever hang around beyond his peak, and we wish he had gotten the hell out whle his flight was still the kind that made us admire him in the first place. But let him get the hell out at the peak beyond his peak before he is forced back to earth - and a peak beyond his peak was where Sandy Koufax was when he retired - and we think he's somewhere between an enigma and a basket case.

Sandy Koufax was the dominant pitcher in the major leagues in the mid-1960s, and never was he better than when he threw a perfect game against the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium.
By Sal Maiorana
CBS SportsLine Historian LOS ANGELES (Sept. 9, 1965)
- In 1963, the year Sandy Koufax became the most dominating pitcher in baseball, Los Angeles Dodgers statistician Allan Roth was asked to describe the brilliance of the 27-year-old left-hander. "It's reached the point now that when anybody gets a hit off him, people turn to each other and say `Gee, I wonder what he did wrong?'" Roth said. On a typically pleasant September evening in Southern California, dead smack in the middle of the torrid 1965 National League pennant race, no one at Dodger Stadium had the need to ask that question. Twenty-seven Chicago Cubs stepped into the batters box that night against Koufax and 27 trudged back to the dugout shaking their heads as Koufax pitched the eighth modern-era perfect game in baseball history. "Sandy Koufax could drive you to drink," said Ron Santo, Chicago's slugging third baseman, following the Dodgers' 1-0 victory.
