#4 \| 1400 days ago seal_warrior1 (+)	A few interesting KO-FACTS: He debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers on June 24, 1955. His last appearance was with the LA Dodgers on October 2, 1966. He was w/the Dodgers his whole career. Win-Loss Record: 165-87 !!! ERA: 2.76 !!! Strikeouts: 2,396 !!! Koufax is also remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sport. His decision not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur garnered national attention as an example of conflict between social pressures and personal beliefs. On September 9, 1965, Koufax became the sixth pitcher of the modern era to throw a perfect game, the first by a left-hander since 1880. The game was Koufax's fourth no-hitter, setting a Major League record (subsequently broken by Nolan Ryan). Koufax struck out 14 batters, the most recorded in a perfect game. The game also featured a quality performance by the opposing pitcher, Bob Hendley of the Cubs. Hendley pitched a one-hitter and allowed only two batters to reach base. Both pitchers had no-hitters intact until the seventh inning. In one of baseball's great statistical and score-keeping anomalies, this has been the only nine-inning major league game where both teams combined for one hit. The game's only run, scored by the Dodgers, was unearned. The Dodger run was scored without a recorded at bat—Lou Johnson walked, reached second on a sacrifice bunt, stole third, and scored when the throw to get him out at third went wild. Koufax was the first pitcher to win multiple Cy Young Awards, as well as the first pitcher to win a Cy Young Award by a unanimous vote. All 3 of his Cy Young Awards were by unanimous vote! HOW RARE IS THAT?? Among NL pitchers with at least 2,000 innings pitched who have debuted since 1913, he has the highest career winning percentage (.655) and had the lowest career ERA (2.76) until surpassed by Tom Seaver, whose NL career mark is 2.73. 6× All-Star selection (1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966) 3× World Series champion (1959, 1963, 1965) 3× Cy Young Award winner (1963, 1965, 1966) 1963 NL MVP 2× World Series MVP (1963, 1965) 4× NL TSN Pitcher of the Year (1963, 1964, 1965, 1966) 2× Babe Ruth Award (1963, 1965) Pitched a perfect game on September 9, 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers #32 retired He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972, his 1st year of eligibility, with a vote of 86.87% (first ballot).

#7 \| 1400 days ago SuperStar123 (+)	IT REALLY COULDN'T BE HELPED...IT WAS THE WAY HIS ELBOW WAS BUILT. I WATCHED EVERY GAME OF HIM I COULD! HE WAS THE MASTER! AND I RESPECT HIM BECAUSE HE WAS A GOOD JEWISH PERSON! HE SKIPPED A WORLD SERIES START BECAUSE OF HIS BELIEFS IN HIS RELIGION!

#11 \| 1399 days ago seal_warrior1 (+)	So they were and he was working with not many breaks, which didn't get to him for a while, but boy when it did. When did they come up with that rule that pitchers had to have a certain number of days between pitching? No worries, brat! That'll teach ya giggle
