Description: "Sandy Koufax A Lefty's Legacy" by Jane Leavy - 1st EDITION Hardcover w/Dustjacket - Published in 2002 by Harper Collins - 282 pages (8 pages of great black & white photos) - book is in EXCELLENT condition; DJ is very good. Although Koufax only won 165 games in his Major League career, he is a Hall of Famer and there is little doubt that he was one of the greatest pitchers ever to take the mound. If you have any doubts about Sandy's greatness, please check out his stats from 1962-1966 (the last 5 years of his career). Not only did he average more than 20 wins per year during this period, he won the NL ERA crown in each of those years and his 5-year ERA was under 2 runs per nine innings!! Many pitchers have dominated over short periods of time, but few (if any) have done it for 5 consecutive years. And, although his career was cut short because of an arthritic condition, there is no reason to believe that his dominance would not have continued had he not retired after the 1966 season (in which he was 26-9) at only 30 years old. Many sportswriters and fans consider Sandy Koufax the greatest pitcher ever. This is his story. There is some minor wear on the DJ, but this book is still in very nice condition. No collection of Sandy Koufax or Dodgers items is complete without this outstanding book. Check out the scan for the great photo of Koufax on the cover. The endpapers shows the scorecard for his perfect game angains the Cubs on September 9, 1965. You won't be disappointed. Don't get left out; this book is long out of print! NO RESERVE.
