I remember him as a Yankee from when I was a little kid, and my baseball card collection. He never really fit in to the Bronx Zoo I dont think.

Most wins by a Jewish pitcher.

Cubs gave up on him after a bad year. Of course, had a lot of success with the A's.

Regardless, in my all-Jewish rotation Koufax is still my #1.

My first glove was a Ken Holtzman model.

Traded him for Rick Monday.

Then down the road traded Monday for Bill Buckner and Ivan de Jesus.

Rick Monday would be cancelled today by the Left for interrupting a "peaceful protest".

There's no doubt he wouldn't be lauded as an American hero the way he was at the time. I mean, the American flag is RACIST! and flying it shows you support DRUMPF.

I remember him with the Cubs, but he was pretty stellar with the A's. I think I saw him hit a homer when I was a wee lad.

I don't mind hard slides (in the right situations) or contact at the plate, but more fighting is not exactly a draw for me.

I had one. The stitching up the middle of the pocket. Stitching everywhere, maybe the first of its kind. I untied and retied knots all over that fucker.

That was awesome old school baseball. That's the game I fell in love with as a child.
