Quiz time - Just for fun

Koufax at Cincinatti. Read his biography by Jane Leavy. He is an amazing person. Very conservative, and played with a lot of pain in the last 3-4 years of his MLB service.

Very nice!

Don't plan to be in Tampa anytime soon...gonna be out here to collect your dog and beer?

Happy Thanksgiving!

Won't be out there too soon, just pay it forward to one of your favorite people. It is the thought that counts.

judging bu that left foot ..i thought it was tom mccann.

Backstop - I really enjoyed that book too. Recommended for anyone's Christmas list if you haven't read it already.

Just BB:

Couldn't you fine a picture of him in his basketball uni? He was a better college cager then a baseball player.

Good point! That may be a little harder to find.

Did you know his freshman baseball coach was also his basketball coach? Of course you did.

BTW, I see someone is selling the yearbook from Koufax's year at Cincinnati on ebay for around $500.

I believe that photo came out of that yearbook.

That picture makes him look like ------------

Very cool Fungo!

Couldn't find a basketball photo...how about jousting with Juan Marichal? As the story goes, John Roseboro (the catcher playing mediator) got the worst of it...14 stitches to the head.

A very ugly time in baseball.

And OBTW: Mr. Koufax shows up from time to time
to see Maryland family...just down the street..

And he never spoke to, nor desired to speak to
the female author, who wrote a book on him.
How can someone write a book about someone
without talking to him? Jane did.....
and for baseball books...... a D+!
