Sandy Koufax

The life and legacy of Sandy Koufax, one of baseball's greatest pitchers, are explored through the lens of his extraordinary achievements and personal choices. From leading the National League in ERA for five consecutive years to his principled decision to sit out the 1965 World Series opener on Yom Kippur, Koufax exemplifies the intersection of faith and sports. Author Jane Leavy's intimate access to Koufax, along with interviews from those who knew him, creates a comprehensive and nuanced portrait of a man who transcended the game and became an enduring symbol for many.
