Sandy Koufax
Lefty Legend
From the Series Epic Sports Bios (Lerner ™ Sports)
Sandy Koufax went from dreaming of playing in the NBA to pitching perfect games for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Growing up, Koufax wanted to be a basketball player—but baseball turned out to be his calling. In college, the left-handed pitcher wowed Major League Baseball (MLB) scouts with his blazing fastball. Koufax began his pro career as a wild rookie who had trouble controlling his powerful throws, but he ended it a six-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion. Learn about Koufax’s childhood in Brooklyn, why he retired at just 30 years old, and much more.
