Thirteen year career, 8 of them at the top of his game. More money than he could spend.
Koufax had maybe 6-7 great years, great as they were.
Sandy Koufax went out as #1, no doubt, and Drysdale right behind ( 58 consecutive scoreless innings in ‘68 and 6 straight shutouts). Koufax was getting steroid injections in his elbow. He probably wouldn’t have retired if he could have gotten a $300 m contract, do you think?
