I'll never forget the time when I was driving home lstening to a game on the radio. Koufax struck out the side with nine pitches. Amazing.

Greatest pitcher of all time. Too bad his career was cut short.

Do you know why his career was cut short? Was it an injury?

Koufax struck out the side on nine pitches.

Yes, I remember that. First inning of his no-hitter vs. the NY Mets in 1962. Sure, it was against one of the worst teams ever to be called "major league," but that didn't detract from Koufax' greatness, both on the field and off.

He was my favorite ballplayer as I was growing up, too. I'd suppose that goes for quite a few of us.
