Analyzing Our National Pastime
“I know Koufax’s weakness. He can’t hit.” A laughable matter during the 1963 World Series between the Yankees and Dodgers. Even arguably the best World Series pitcher of all-time didn’t think much of weakness when it came to Sandy Koufax.
“For five innings, it’s the pitcher’s game. After that it’s mine.” Former Red’s manager on his managerial style.
“There is no trick to catching a ball in the open field, no matter how far it is hit, as long as it stays in the air long enough. The test of an outfielder’s skill comes when he has to go against the fence to make a catch.” Coming from a phenomenal center fielder with the glove.
“Everyone asks me ‘why’ about everything. I have no idea. I see it. I swing. I hit it.” The all-time great hitter on his 20/10 eyesight.
