Those were the years when a number of great players roamed the fields of big league parks. Mickey Mantle was still playing then, and there were a number of other "names," some just getting started, others in their prime — Carl Yastrzemski, Harmon Killebrew, Hank Aaron, Willie McCovey, Whitey Ford, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda and others. On the Dodgers, along with Koufax, were other notables, not the least of whom was Don Drysdale, the other Dodger power pitcher from the mid-1960s.
Koufax's career spanned a period from 1955 to 1966 — from the end of the Brooklyn Dodgers era in New York, to their early years in Los Angeles. Famous Dodgers who played in that same era included Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Pee Wee Reese, Jim Gilliam, Gil Hodges, Don Newcombe, Gino Cimoli, John Roseboro, among others.
But for Sandy Koufax, the mid-1960s were the awesome years. And in the post-WWII period — the more modern era of baseball — Koufax would be the only guy to win three Triple Crowns for pitching (see Triple Crown sidebar below). Yet Koufax almost missed these magical years. For there was a time in his career, at one season's end in 1960, when he threw his glove and spikes into the trash can, believing he was through with baseball. But to his and baseball's good fortune, he did not quit, but rather persevered, to become one of baseball's all-time greats. Here's a little bit of his story and his contributions to the baseball record books.
Brooklyn Born
Sandy Koufax was born Sanford Braun in December 1935 in Brooklyn, New York, the child of Evelyn and Jack Braun, who divorced when Sandy was three. His mother later remarried when Sandy was nine, to Irving Koufax, who Sandy regarded as his father. Sandy attended Brooklyn's Lafayette High School, but sports were not played there for a few years due to a teacher's dispute. As a kid, Sandy actually played more basketball than baseball, at least at first, beginning at a local Jewish Community Center and then in his senior year for the Lafayette High School basketball team. At Lafayette High, he became team captain and ranked second in division scoring. He also played some local baseball in a youth league, and later as a 17-year old pitcher, in a Coney Island league.
At the University of Cincinnati he became a walk-on freshman basketball player. He was a good- size kid, standing at 6-foot-2 and weighing about 200-pounds. By the spring of 1954 he was also pitching for the college baseball team, and doing quite well. Koufax attracted the notice of at least one scout for the Brooklyn Dodgers. However, the scout's glowing report on the young pitcher was reportedly lost in the Dodger front-office.Koufax, meanwhile, tried out for the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates, in the latter case catching the eye of Pirate's general manager and former Brooklyn GM, Branch Rickey, who told one scout that Koufax "had the greatest arm [he had] ever seen."
Later, another Dodger scout, Al Campanis heard about Koufax from a local sporting goods store owner, and after seeing the kid pitch locally invited him to Ebbets Field to tryout with the Dodgers. At one point in that visit, Campanis assumed the hitter's stance in the batter's box with Koufax on the mound. Campanis later remarked: "There are two times in my life the hair on my arms has stood up: The first time I saw the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and the first time I saw Sandy Koufax throw a fastball."
The Dodgers signed Koufax for a total salary and bonus package of $20,000 — or roughly $170,000 in today's money. Thus began, in June of 1955, the professional baseball career of Sandy Koufax with the Brooklyn Dodgers.Although he had a few impressive outings with the Dodgers as a 19 year-old — pitching a shutout and striking out 14 batters in one game against the Cincinnati Reds at Ebbets Field — Koufax struggled to find his grove in the first several years of his career. He had an impressive fastball, but struggled with control. Some believed he wasn't being given enough playing time by manager Walter Alston to gain the experience he needed. Even Jackie Robinson, then nearing retirement, thought Koufax was talented and should be playing more. In mid-May 1957, Alston gave Koufax a game start against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Koufax struck out 13 while pitching his first complete game in almost two years, gaining him a shot in the starting rotation. But that lasted only briefly, again seeing long periods in between pitching starts. Koufax also did some relief pitching.
By 1958, meanwhile, the Dodgers's organization left Brooklyn for the promised land of Los Angeles, breaking the hearts of millions of New Yorkers as they went.In the next three seasons in Los Angeles, 1958-1960, Koufax was in and out of the Dodger starting rotation due to injuries. In 1958, he finished the year at 11-11, leading the league in wild pitches. Still, flashes of greatness appeared in Koufax performances, as in June 1959 when he struck out 16 batters, then setting the night-game strikeout record. A few months later, on August 31, 1959, he surpassed that with 18 strikeouts in a nine-inning game against the San Francisco Giants before a crowd of 82,074 at the L.A. Coliseum. In that game, Koufax set down 15 of the last 17 Giants he faced. It was a career high for Koufax and then set the NL record for most strikeouts in a game, also tying Bob Feller's major league record of 18.
In 1959, the Dodgers won the National League pennant race and beat the Chicago White Sox in the World Series. Koufax pitched two relief innings in Game 1 of that series and started Game 5 at the Los Angeles Coliseum before more than 92,000 fans. In that game he allowed only one run in seven innings, but the Dodgers lost, 1-0.
In early 1960, Koufax asked the Dodgers to trade him because he wasn't getting enough playing time. After going 8-13 that year, Koufax thought about quitting. He had also thought about going into the electronics business. In fact, at that season's end he threw his glove and spikes into the trash.In 1961, however, Koufax decided to give it one more year and see how good he could really be. He got himself into better shape, worked on his technique, and things began to break in his favor. One key change for Koufax came during spring training that year when backup catcher Norm Sherry told him ease up on his fast ball a bit, and focus more on throwing the ball over the plate. Koufax had heard that before, but now he seemed to get it, and it made him a much better pitcher. "In the past I'd go out there, and every pitch I threw, I'd try to throw harder than the last one," Koufax would later say. "From then [1961] on I tried to throw strikes and make them hit the ball. The whole difference was control. Not just controlling the ball, but controlling myself, too." In 1961, he compiled an 18-13 record with 269 strikeouts, breaking Christy Mathewson's 58-year-old NL record of 267. He was also an All-Star selection that year and every year thereafter through 1966. In 1962, he was off to another good season. In a game against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on April 24, 1962, Koufax struck out 18. On June 30th that year, he threw his first no-hitter against a new National League team named the New York Mets. In that game, Koufax struck out the first three batters he faced on nine pitches. But not long thereafter, in July 1962, Koufax was hit on his left hand while batting, injuring his index finger — the essential digit in the physics of curve balls and other pitches. Broken blood vessels were involved (actually, a clot in the deep ulnar arch of his left palm), and his finger split open in one subsequent game. He was soon knocked out of action for a few weeks in the middle of one of his best seasons. In fact, in eight starts between June 13 and July 12, Koufax had only allowed four earned runs. By July 12th — with the season barely half over — he had won 14 games, lost four, and had struck out 209. But halting performances followed because of the injury and he completed the year at 14-7 with a 2.54 ERA, striking out 216 batters in 184 innings. Had he been healthy, he was on pace that year to win 30 games and possibly approach 400 strikeouts. As it was, the next four years — 1963-1966 — would be among his best and most dominant, including his three Triple Crown years. More on those years follow below, but first some introduction on the significance of the Triple Crown.
"Triple Crowns"
Of the two varieties of Triple Crowns, the hitting Triple Crown is the rarer event, occurring less frequently than Triple Crowns in pitching. Still, neither is a regular occurrence, attesting to the difficulty of each. No one has won a Triple Crown in National League hitting since 1937 when Joe Medwick of the St. Louis Cardinals last did it. In the American League, Ted Williams of the Boston Red Sox won the hitting Triple Crown twice, in 1942 and 1947; Mickey Mantle of the New York Yankees did it in 1956; …To be the one best player in all three categories in a single season, whether hit- ter or pitcher, is a rare and distinctive honor, marking accomplished play.Frank Robinson of the Baltimore Orioles in 1966; and Carl Yastrzemski of the Boston Red Sox was the last hitter to do so in 1967. Triple Crowns in pitching have been reached more recently — in 2006 by Johan Santana of the Minnesota Twins in the American League, and in 2007 by Jake Peavy of the San Diego Padres of the National League. Since Koufax won his last of three Triple Crowns in 1966, there have only been four other National League pitchers who have won Triple Crowns — Steve Carlton of the Philadelphia Phillies in 1972; Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets in 1985; Randy Johnson of the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2002; and Jake Peavy in 2007. American League winners of the pitching Crown in more recent years have been Roger Clemens of the Toronto Blue Jays in 1997 and 1998, and Pedro Martinez of he Boston Red Sox in 1999. In 2011, Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Justin Verlander, then with the Detroit Tigers, won the National and American League Triple Crowns, respectively. It was the first time since 1924 that both leagues had pitching Triple Crown winners in the same season. In any case, to be the one best player in all three categories in a single season, whether for hitting or pitching, is a rare and distinctive honor, marking accomplished play.In addition to Sandy Koufax, Grover Cleveland Alexander and Walter Johnson are the only other pitchers to win the pitching Triple Crown three times in a career. Alexander won two with Philadelphia Phillies in 1915 and 1916 and another with the Chicago Cubs in 1920. Walter Johnson won all three of his with the Washington Senators in 1913, 1918, and 1924. However, winning the "Major League Triple Crown" in pitching — that is, leading both major leagues in each of the three categories — is even rarer. Since the birth of the American League in 1901, Walter Johnson, Grover Cleveland Alexander, and Lefty Grove each won the Major League Triple Crown twice, but only Sandy Koufax did it three times. Koufax is also distinguished for pitching four no hitters, one of them a perfect game, again putting him in rare company since only 20 souls in modern baseball have thrown perfect games. Koufax's three Triple Crown seasons with the Los Angeles Dodgers are summarized below.
Koufax in 1963At the start of the 1963 season, Sandy Koufax was 27 years old, beginning his ninth major league season with the Dodgers. In March of that new season, Sports Illustrated put Sandy Koufax on the cover of its magazine with a tagline that highlighted his previous season's injury — "Sandy Koufax Tests That Index Finger." The magazine's writers need not have worried. Koufax was soon on his way to what would become the best years of his career.
By May 11th, 1963, Koufax was is very good form. On that day he carried a perfect game into the eighth inning against the San Francisco Giants, a team then powered by a bevy of capable hitters including future Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Orlando Cepeda. Koufax only missed a perfect game that day by walking two batters: Ed Bailey in the eighth inning, and an intentional walk to Willie McCovey in the ninth. But he still no-hit the Giants, as the Dodgers won, 8-0. It was his second no-hitter.
By early August 1963, as Koufax led the majors in wins, shutouts, and strikeouts, Life magazine did a "close up" cover story on him (photo at top of article), calling him "baseball's No. 1 hero" and its "most attractive bachelor." In one photo he was shown in a swimming pool with a girlfriend; in another, signing autographs at a department store.In the Life story, Koufax allowed that the demands of autograph seekers and requests for personal appearances were not his favorite parts of the game, nor was being on the road for away games and living in hotels. But he also called it "too good a life," wondering "when will it end?," answering his own question with, "the hitters will let me know."
He told Life reporter Tommy Thompson: "I want to enjoy all this while it lasts. The end can come any day or 10 years from now. After that, who knows? Maybe I'll go back to where I came from and finish college."
Koufax compiled a 25-and-5 win-loss record in 1963 as the Dodgers won the NL pennant and he became the first-ever unanimous selection for the Cy Young award for best pitcher. Koufax won the first of his three Triple Crowns that year, leading the league with 25 wins, 306 strikeouts, and a 1.88 ERA. He also threw 11 shutouts, a total that only Bob Gibson would later surpass. He was also named the National League's Most Valuable Player.
`63 World Series
In the 1963 World Series, the Dodgers (99-63) faced the New York Yankees (104-57), with the Yankees favored to win the best-of-seven fall classic. Sandy Koufax was tapped to pitch Game 1 on October 2, 1963, as Whitey Ford, the Yankee ace, went to the mound for New York. In that game, Koufax struck out the first five Yankees he faced. Mickey Mantle, who was called out on strikes taking a Koufax curveball, walked away muttering expletives, unhappy with his Koufax experience. Mantle wasn't alone; Koufax struck out 15 Yankees as the Dodgers won, 5-2.
Yogi Berra, the famous Yankee catcher known for his quips and his play, remarked of Koufax after watching his Game 1 performance: "I can see how he won 25 games. What I don't understand is how he lost five."
On October 6th, 1963, in Game 4 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium, Koufax faced the Yankees a second time. In this game, Mantle would hit a homer off Koufax in the 7th inning ( Mantle's 15th in World Series play) which tied the game temporarily at 1-1. But Koufax shut down the Yanks after that as the Dodgers won 2-1, completing a surprising four-game sweep of New York to win the Series. The Yankees batted just .171 and scored only four runs in the Series, with Koufax being a primary factor, receiving the World Series' MVP award.1964. The following year, Koufax began to have arm problems as early as April 22nd when he felt something "let go" in his arm, later treated with cortisone shots for a sore elbow. He then missed a few starts. Still, by June 4, 1964, pitching at Philadelphia's Connie Mack Stadium against the Phillies, Koufax threw his third no-hitter in three years, becoming only the second pitcher of the modern era, after Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians, to pitch three no hitters.
However, more signs of serious arm problems followed that year for Koufax, having jammed his arm in a base-running slide. In late August 1964, the morning after winning his 19th game — a shutout with 13 strikeouts — he could not straighten his arm. Dodger team physician Robert Kerlan diagnosed him with traumatic arthritis.
Koufax finished the year with a 19-5 record. The Dodgers faltered that season, going 80 and 82 for the year, finishing sixth in the ten-team National League. The St. Louis Cardinals took the pennant and beat the New York Yankees in the World Series.
Koufax in 1965In 1965, Sandy Koufax won his second Triple Crown posting 26 wins for the season, compiling a 2.04 earned run average, and striking out 382 opposing batters. But this was also the year that he started having severe arm pain, beginning early in the season. On March 31, 1965 the morning after he had pitched a complete game in spring training, Koufax awoke to find his entire left arm black and blue from hemorrhaging.
In consultation with the Dodger's team physician, Dr. Kerlan, he was told he would be lucky to pitch once a week and might eventually lose full use of his arm. Koufax sought to rest more and not throw as much between starts. He also used Empirin with codeine for pain, which he took every night and sometimes during the fifth inning to make it through a game. And he also took Butazolidin for inflammation and applied a capsaicin-based ointment to his arm known to athletes as "atomic balm" before each game.Still, despite his arm problems, 1965 would be one of his best years. It was also the year he would pitch a perfect game. It came late in the season, on September 9th,1965, when he faced the Chicago Cubs at Dodger Stadium. Koufax had not won a game in three weeks. The Dodgers at the time were fighting to hold on to first place, with the San Francisco Giants right on their heels and the Cincinnati Reds and Milwaukee Braves also within striking distance.
Perfect Game. The game proved to be something of a pitcher's duel, as both Koufax and the Cubs' pitcher, Bob Hendley, had no-hitters going until the seventh inning. Hendley finally allowed one-hit — the only hit in the game for either side. But two Dodgers managed to reach base, and one scored. The game still holds the record for fewest base runners. Koufax, meanwhile, was perfect — no runs, no hits, no walks. He retired 27 consecutive batters without allowing any to reach base. At the time Koufax was only the sixth pitcher of the modern era to throw a perfect game. He also struck out 14 batters, the most ever recorded in a perfect game.It was Koufax's fourth no-hitter in his career, then breaking Bob Feller's major league record of three. Nolan Ryan, in turn, would later break Koufax's record in 1981.
The Koufax perfect game against the Cubs was also noted for the play-by-play call by broadcaster Vin Scully, the venerable voice of the Dodgers for more than 50 years. The game is also featured in Jane Leavy's 2002 biography of Koufax, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy.
Of Vin Scully's historic broadcast of the game, one Salon.com writer, Gary Kaufman, offered this description:
"…I found …a transcript of Scully's call of the ninth inning of Sandy Koufax's perfect game… It read like a short story. It had tension, rising and falling drama, great turns of phrase. It was, and still is, the best piece of baseball writing I've ever seen. And it came off the top of his head, at a moment when, like the man whose feat he was describing, he knew he had to be at the top of his game. I've since heard a tape of that half inning: There's not a single misstep. He never once fumbles for a word, makes a false start or trips over himself…"
In the 1965 World Series, the Dodgers faced the Minnesota Twins, and Koufax was the likely candidate to pitch Game 1 on October 6th, 1965. However, that day happened to be Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the year in the Jewish religion. Koufax, a Jew, refused to pitch. The incident garnered national attention as an example of conflict between social pressures and personal beliefs. Koufax, by some accounts, was neither an observant nor an involved Jew, but nonetheless, saw not playing on Yom Kippur as his responsibility. In any case, he was put under the spotlight for refusing to pitch in such a high profile game, but was regarded proudly by Jews around the world for his decision. Koufax ended up pitching two complete game shutouts in Games 5 and 7 of that World Series, with the Dodgers taking the Series, four games to three. Koufax was named "Sportsman of the Year" for 1965 by Sports Illustrated.
"Money Ball"
In 1966, before the regular baseball season began, the Dodgers' two key pitchers — Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale — were each scheduled to negotiate new contracts with Dodgers' general manager Joseph "Buzzie" Bavasi. Bavasi began by meeting separately with each man. Later, however, the two pitchers discovered that each was being used in the sessions with Bavasi against the other, saying one was asking for more than the other. With that, the two decided to negotiate their contracts as a package, demanding $1 million (about $6.7 million in current dollars) between them over three years.In negotiating with the Dodgers, Koufax and Drysdale hired an entertainment lawyer to represent them at a time when players generally did not use agents and multi-year deals were not the norm either. Willie Mays was then baseball's highest paid player at $125,000 (about $838, 000 in current dollars). Koufax and Drysdale held out for a time and did not report to spring training in February 1966. In fact, both signed up to appear in the Hollywood movie Warning Shot, starring David Janssen — with Drysdale as a TV commentator and Koufax a detective. The Dodgers, meanwhile, played hardball with Koufax and Drysdale, mounting a public relations battle against the two. After four weeks, and some back and forth on both sides, the Dodgers made an offer both Koufax and Drysdale agreed to. Koufax ended up getting $125,000 and Drysdale $110,000 ($737,000). The front page of Los Angeles Times sports section on March 31, 1966 ran a photo of Drysdale, Bavasi and Koufax in a playful mood and all smiles as the deal was announced. "Peace at Last!," read the headline, "K&D Return to the Fold." Koufax and Drysdale rejoined the team in the last week of spring training.
1966: Final YearIn his third Triple Crown season of 1966, Sandy Koufax won 27 games, compiled a 1.73 earned run average, and struck out 317 opposing hitters. His arm, however, paid the price. As early as April of that year, Dodger physician Kerlan told Koufax it was time to retire, that his arm could not take another season.
Koufax, however, kept Kerlan's advice to himself and went out every fourth day to pitch. He ended up pitching 323 innings that year, finishing with a 27-9 record. Since then, no left-hander has had more wins in a season nor a lower ERA (Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton had 27 wins in 1972).
On September 29, 1966, near the end of the regular season, Koufax threw a four-hitter to beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1, achieving a third 300-strikeout season, the first major league pitcher to do so since Amos Rusie did it in 1890-92. But in the final game of the regular season, the Dodgers had to beat the Phillies to win the pennant. In the second game of a doubleheader, Koufax faced off against the Phillies' ace, Jim Bunning in a first-ever match-up between perfect-game winners. Koufax, on two days rest, pitched a complete game, with the Dodgers winning 6-3 to clinch the NL pennant.
Koufax started 41 games that year — as he did the previous year. Only two left-handers in the ensuing years through 2000 started as many games in a season. Koufax would finish a very close second to Pittsburgh hitter, Roberto Clemente, in the National League voting that year for the regular season Most Valuable Player.The Dodgers in 1966 went on to face the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. Game 2 marked Koufax's third start in eight days. Baltimore first baseman Boog Powell told Koufax's biographer, Jane Leavy, "He might have been hurtin' but he was bringin'." However, three Dodger errors in that game contributed to three unearned runs. Baltimore's pitching ace, Jim Palmer, allowed only four Dodger hits as Baltimore won, 6-0. Koufax was pulled at the end of the sixth inning with the idea of resting him for a potential start in Game 5. But the Series didn't last that long, as the Dodgers were swept in four.
After the World Series, in November, Sandy Koufax announced his retirement from baseball due to his arthritic condition. It may have been a surprise to many fans when Koufax retired, but in 1965-1966, he was having regular and severe arm pain and had adopted various remedies to keep pitching. Here's one account from Sports Illustrated by Tom Verducci in 1999, describing what Koufax was going through:
"…In the last 26 days of his career… Koufax started seven times, threw five complete-game wins and had a 1.07 ERA. He clinched the pennant for Los Angeles for the second straight year with a complete game on two days rest. Everyone knew he was pitching with traumatic arthritis in his left elbow, but how bad could it be when he pitched like that?
"It was this bad: Koufax couldn't straighten his left arm-it was curved like a parenthesis. He had to have a tailor shorten the left sleeve on all his coats. Use of his left arm was severely limited when he wasn't pitching. On bad days he'd have to bend his neck to get his face closer to his left hand so that he could shave. And on the worst days he had to shave with his right hand. He still held his fork in his left hand, but sometimes he had to bend closer to the plate to get the food into his mouth.
"His elbow was shot full of cortisone several times a season. His stomach was always queasy from the cocktail of anti-inflammatories he swallowed before and after games, which he once said made him 'half-high on the mound.' He soaked his elbow in an ice bath for 30 minutes after each game, his arm encased in an inner tube to protect against frostbite. And even then his arm would swell an inch. He couldn't go on like this, not when his doctors could not rule out the possibility that he was risking permanent damage to his arm…"The final two pitching seasons for Sandy Koufax were really quite extraordinary considering the pain he suffered. In those two years he posted a 53-17 win-loss record with 699 strikeouts and a 1.89 ERA. Still, he believed retirement was the right move. "I feel I am doing the right thing," he said in making his announcement, "and I don't regret one minute of the past 12 years. The only regret is leaving baseball." Koufax explained that he had been taking more pills and getting more shots, and that this worried him. He said the problem would only get worse with time, so he would be better off out of baseball. "I've got a lot of years to live after baseball," he said at the time, "and I would like to live them with complete use of my body."
In his major league career, Koufax set some dazzling marks. He won 25 games three times and captured five straight ERA titles from 1962 through 1966. Lefty Grove is the only other pitcher to have done the latter, in 1935-1939. Koufax also set a new standard with 382 strikeouts in 1965. His 2,396 career strikeouts at retirement in 1966 ranked 7th best all-time. Koufax also won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 Cy Young Award for best pitcher by unanimous votes — during an era when only one pitcher was chosen per season. He was the first three-time Cy Young winner in baseball. He was also the first major leaguer to pitch four no-hitters — which were also in consecutive seasons. Koufax would hold that record until 1981 when Nolan Ryan threw his fifth no-hitter. Koufax played his entire career with the Dodgers organization, from Brooklyn, New York through Los Angeles, California,1955 to1966. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972.
Koufax left baseball with the highest regard of his fellow players, as he had been a model professional, not one to seek the spotlight or boast of his abilities, and often thinking and acting on behalf of the team rather than himself. Paul Richards, who managed ball clubs in both leagues, said of Koufax, 'This man has a sense of responsibility beyond gain and glory." Once in 1966 when a television network offered him $25,000 to allow their cameras to follow him around, Koufax agreed to do it for $35,000, and then only if the money was divided so that every Dodger player, coach, and trainer received $1,000. Koufax also talked about his "responsibility" to pitch well enough during pennant races to help the Dodgers get into and win the World Series, thereby helping his teammates boost and even double their incomes by adding World Series' bonus money.
After BaseballWhen Sandy Koufax retired, he was only 30 years old, with more than half his life still before him. During his playing years he had been a bachelor, but in 1968 he married Anne Widmark, the daughter of actor Richard Widmark. In 1971 they moved to an old farmstead in rural Maine, using that as a home base for many years. Koufax, although a superstar, did not play in an era when superfortunes were made in sport. So in 1966, he signed a ten-year contract with NBC to be a baseball broadcaster. However, he grew unhappy with the work, and was not always comfortable on camera, leaving broadcasting in 1973. Even as a player, Koufax had protected his privacy. Although he did his share of media interviews as a star player, they were not his favorite parts of the game. In retirement, Koufax would continue to seek a private life for the most part, although appearing at special occasions from time to time. But he continued to dig into new pursuits with the same single-mindedness he had exhibited as a dedicated ballplayer, whether it was entering amateur golf tournaments, fly fishing in Montana and Idaho, cooking, or some other venture. His marriage to Anne Widmark ended in divorce in the early '80s. He remarried a few years later, but that marriage also ended in divorce in the late 1990s. In later years he became a pitching coach, tutoring a number of veteren and up-and-coming pitchers — Dwight Gooden, Al Leiter, Chan Ho Park, Oral Hershiser, Mike Hampton, Kevin Brown among them. He served as a guest pitching coach in various training camps, including those of the Dodgers and New York Mets, and from 1979-1990, he was a roving minor league pitching instructor in the Dodgers' system. In 2007, he signed an exclusive autograph and memorabilia agreement with the sports trading card company, Upper Deck.
As of mid-year 2010, Sandy Koufax was still active, appearing for example, at the May 27, 2010 White House reception in honor of Jewish American Heritage Month where he greeted President Obama who later joked with the audience that he and Sandy had something in common: "We are both lefties," said the President. "He can't pitch on Yom Kippur [and] I can't pitch."
Hitters' LamentThe highest compliments paid to Koufax's talents and career over the years have come from the competition; from the hitters who faced him in the batter's box. Ernie Banks, a Hall of Fame shortstop and great hitter from the Chicago Cubs, offered nothing but praise for Koufax: "He's the greatest pitcher I ever saw…I can still see that big curveball. It had a great arc on it, and he never bounced it in the dirt. Sandy's curve had a lot more spin than anybody else's — it spun like a fastball coming out of his hand — and he had the fastball of a pure strikeout pitcher. It jumped up at the end. The batter would swing half a foot under it…." Willie Stargell, the great slugger for the Pittsburgh Pirates, once said that "trying to hit Koufax is like trying to drink coffee with a fork."
"Sandy would strike me out two or three times a game," said Willie Mays of the San Francisco Giants. "And I knew every pitch he was going to throw — fastball, breaking ball or whatever. Actually, he would let you look at it. And you still couldn't hit it." Pete Rose, baseball's all-time hit leader, also had trouble hitting Koufax, batting an anemic .175 against him. Hank Aaron, it seemed, was among the few hitters that had Koufax's number. In 114 career at-bats against him, Aaron hit .368, with an on-base percentage of .433. And Koufax admitted in one interview to having a good bit of trouble with Roberto Clemente of the Pittsburgh Pirates, especially in 1963. Others also saw a few weaknesses in Koufax. According to base-stealing threat Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals, "Koufax couldn't field bunts well or hold runners on base too well. " Trouble was, said Brock, with Koufax on the mound, "nobody got on base too often."

Coffee Filters
A Dollar Store purchase with …. well, at least 25 uses!
[this is another FaceBook find, if it's originally yours let me know so I can give you credit!]
1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent covers.
2. Clean windows, mirrors, and chrome… Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.
3. Protect China by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.
4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.
5. Protect a cast-iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.
6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter.
7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.
8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.
9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.
10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.
11.. Prevent a Popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.
12. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrows? Use strips of coffee filters..
13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, French fries, chicken fingers, etc on them. It soaks out all the grease.
14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."
15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.
16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.
17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.
18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.
19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.
20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies.. Saves on having extra bowls to wash.
21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.
22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.
23. Use them to sprout seeds.. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it into a plastic baggie until they sprout.
24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book.
25. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.

Defective, Damaged or Mis-shipped Items
You are qualified to get a full refund if your items are defective, damaged or mis-shipped. If you believe your items were damaged during delivery, you must obtain "Proof of Damage" documentation from your delivery carrier, which should be included in your returned package.
Sizing or Fitting Issues
As all of our dresses are hand-sewn and customized, the finished gown may vary by approximately one inch in either direction of the specified measurements. To ensure that your dress will fit you perfectly, our tailors have reserved additional fabric in the seams to allow minor modifications.
Size Deviation
If your dress size differs from the specifications of your order by more than one inch, you are encouraged to find a local tailor to make adjustments. In this case, we will reimburse you up to 40% of the product purchase price (excluding shipping cost). Should you choose this option, please remember to request a receipt from your tailor. The copy of the receipt must be provided to request reimbursement.
Item is the size you ordered but does not fit
Please understand that items that do not fit properly but in accordance with the specifications you ordered cannot be returned or exchanged. Your option is to look for a local tailoring service at your own cost. Please note that if your order specifications differ greatly from the final sizing request, resizing may not be possible.
Color Mismatch
The settings of your computer screen may alter the color of the pictures shown on the site. Slight color aberration may not mean that the dress is defective or mis-shipped. However, if you are positive that you have received the item in a wrong color, please contact Customer Service to see if a return or refund is possible.
Items that cannot be returned or exchanged
1. No returns and no exchanges for personalized items.
2. No returns and no exchanges for perishables, earrings (including jewelry sets containing earrings), and personal care items (including lingerie, etc.) due to hygienic reasons.
Return Process
1. Submit a return request at Contact Us to Customer Service within 3 days upon receiving your order. Please include an explanation and photographs stating the reason for your return.
We reserve the right not to accept the returns without prior approval from our Customer Service.
2. Once our Customer Service has approved your request, we will provide you with a return address as well as a Product Return Form that must be filled in and included with your return. Please send the item(s) through your local post office within 3-5 business days upon receiving the return form. Please keep the tracking number safe.
3. All the return item(s) will go through inspections. We will process the refund when we confirm that the product has the problems you mentioned. Once the refund has been processed by us, it usually takes 10-15 business days for the funds to be credited to your account, depending on your bank or payment service. Your bank or payment service may levy a small transaction charge.
Please Note: we reserve the right not to process the refund if they are returned in unacceptable condition.

Looking for Restaurant Insurance in Wildwood?
We've got you covered!
Owning your own business is hard enough as it is right? Between the schedule managing, staff coming down with the mysterious sickness of the quarter, and especially unhappy customers.
We sadly can't resolve the issues listed above but we can resolve an issue you might not even have thought of yet.
Liability Coverage for your Restaurant
Picture this, you have a customer who specifically lets you know of a food allergy that must be avoided. Your kitchen staff not paying attention accidentally contaminates their meal with said food allergy.
Not only does your customer suffer from the extreme allergic reaction but you are now wide open to a potential lawsuit.
See, things like this happen every day in our world. Although they might not happen every day in yours, our job is to make sure you are protected for the "what if"
Restaurant Liability Policy Components
There are multiple "components" that make up a solid Restaurant Insurance policy. Different companies may offer these as a "bundle" while with others they are a' la carte.
General Liability Insurance
This coverage is going to protect you from a variety of potential claims. Some of these examples can be bodily injury, property damage, personal injury and others that can potentially come up if you are found negligent.
Workers Compensation Coverage
In most states if you have employees then this isn't even a question of do I want this? This is a must to be able to employee staff. Workers Compensation (otherwise known as workers comp) is strictly designed to ensure payment by employers for some part of cost of injuries to an employee. Some examples of this can be things like:
- Injury at Work
- Disease caused by work environment
In most cases an incident would need to take place while the employee is at the place of employment, however it would be best to discuss with your local independent insurance agent for more of a case by case basis.
Loss of Income Insurance
What happens in the event you are unable to open your restaurant due to a claim? This in most cases would cause a major hardship for you as a business owner. You wouldn't be able to serve your customers which in turn means no income coming in.
This is where Loss of Income Insurance is imperative. This coverage would allow you to have a "back up" plan in the event you were unable to generate an income due to a covered loss.
Property Damage
This would allow you coverage for damage to your building, inventory, or equipment. Most policies would offer you a replacement cost coverage to these items so you would be able to repair or replace these items for today's cost.
To make sure you have replacement cost coverage on property it is important to check with your independent insurance agent.
Crime and Vandalism Coverage
This would cover you in the event you had a claim due to a burglary, robbery, employee theft, or any vandalism to the property.
Here are a few examples of clients we work with and make sure their business are protected:
- Local Restaurants
- Food Trucks
- Catering Companies
- Food Delivery Restaurants
- Ice Cream Trucks
- Bars
- Cafeterias
- Local Diners
The list can go on and on.
So how do you know if a restaurant liability policy is a good fit for your business?
We always would recommend you calling a local independent insurance agent like us, and discussing your coverage options. Our agency can work with you in finding the perfect fit for your restaurant insurance needs.
How to get started
The process of getting a Restaurant Insurance quote is simple. You can either call us directly, or click over to our Quotes page to give us a little more information about your situation and needs.
Either way, we'll make the process easy!

Patent Lawyers serving Iowa
Our experienced Iowa patent attorneys & lawyers represent individuals and businesses throughout the state of Iowa, United States, and world with domestic and foreign patent application and prosecution matters. They have extensive experience handling patent applications from nearly every sector of technology, including biotechnology, computer hardware and software, communication networks, internet systems and methods, automotive, medical equipment, construction technology, consumer electronics, and clean technology research and development.
Our Iowa patent lawyers are of the most highly experienced and trained in the patent law industry, requiring a scientific background, and passing a second level of testing known as the Patent Bar Examination. Thousands of patents are submitted to the patent office every day and a patent committee reviews each patent for its validity. The patent application process requires that correctly drafted documentation present a clear case for the novelty of the invention, which is best made by using a Iowa patent attorney with a higher education background and knowledge of your industry.
The Iowa patent attorneys on UpCounsel can help you file a provisional patent, which lasts for 1-year and allows you to immediately begin using/manufacturing your invention with the confidence that your idea is protected. These types of patents are great if you think your idea will change a lot over the next year before you file a (non-provisional) patent. These types of patents are easier to obtain and are less expensive but you should have a patent lawyer in Iowa review your provisional patent application to insure that you are meeting your objectives when you file your patent.
What Our Customers Have to Say
"UpCounsel gives me access to big-firm lawyers minus the big-firm price tag. I work with several attorneys on the platform and there are never surprises...I always receive quality legal work at competitive rates that larger firms simply cannot match."
"Every startup needs to know about UpCounsel. We found great attorneys at great prices and were able to focus our resources on improving our business instead of paying legal bills."
"Before UpCounsel it was hard for us to find the right lawyer with the right expertise for our business. UpCounsel solves those problems by being more affordable and helping us find the right lawyer in no time."

Computer Lenses
Do you get headaches or eyestrain from staring at your computer monitor? At the end of a long day in front of your computer screen, is it difficult to focus on distant objects? You may be suffering from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). With most of the population working on computers for multiple hours a day, Dr. Aivazian, Dr. Chiha, and Dr. Khalid wants to share some educational information on Computer Lenses.
Computer Vision Syndrome
According to the American Optometric Association, 70-75 percent of computer workers experience eye and vision problems. This condition, known as computer vision syndrome, includes blurry vision, sore and tired eyes, and neck and shoulder pain. Nearsighted people often complain of headaches, eye strain, squinting or fatigue when driving, playing sports, or looking more than a few feet away.
Special computer task lenses can be used to supplement your primary pair of eyewear to solve computer specific vision requirements. For example, computer task lenses can help relieve the symptoms of computer vision syndrome by enhancing vision at the near and intermediate distances. With the added comfort of a more natural head position.
Ask if a blue filter may be right for your eyes.
Ask your doctor for more information if you're experiencing symptoms of computer vision syndrome.
