Reply to "Sandy Koufax"

I think a big part of it was just Koufax somehow finally learning to harness his gifts. Since he went straight to the Major Leagues and then was used erratically with no time to learn in the minors, it's almost a wonder that he didn't fail as a pitcher. The bonus rule was cruel in that the very best prospects were offered the most money which then required two years in the Major Leagues and ruined most of them. Koufax, Killebrew, and Kaline were among the few who overcame this destructive rule. Maybe as long as your surname started with a "K" you were safe! Smile
