Sandy Koufax


On this date in 1963, Sandy Koufax is the unanimous winner of the NL Cy Young Award.

"In the end, it all comes down to talent. You can talk all you want about intangibles, I just don't know what that means. Talent makes winners, not intangibles. Can nice guys win? Sure, nice guys can win - if they're nice guys with a lot of talent. Nice guys with a little talent finish fourth and nice guys with no talent finish last."

Arthur Rhodes is still pissed that he didn't get even a single vote in the '63 Cy Young voting.

Overlooked because they were both lefties, you know.

(If he pitches tonight and I post something, it is because something came to me today because I have officially "run dry" on Arthur Rhodes material)
