What a consistently dominant pitcher Koufax was for that stretch of years in the 1960s.

I recall 8/26/65 when 20 year old Met Tug McGraw (1-2) was scheduled to go up against Koufax (21-5), who I believe was 18-0 lifetime against the Mets at the time. McGraw won. The boxscore of that game.

How about the BP story before one of the ‘78, (or maybe ‘77), Bombers/Dodgers Series games? As it was told, Sandy threw some BP and evidently got into a competitive thing with Garvey/Lopes/Penquin/Smith/Baker and the guys and mowed ‘em down badly. Lasorda had to end the session as he felt it was gonna demoralize his guys! It was about 12 years or so after Sandy had hung ‘em up! Anyone know/heard anything else about this story? Sandy Koufax was the best hurler I ever saw pitch.
