Happy Birthday Sandy Koufax! and Happy New Year!
Today December 30th, 2009, Sandy Koufax turns 74! Happy Birthday Sandy!
Back in 1955, Koufax was competing to make the Dodgers roster along with another left-handed pitcher, Tommy Lasorda. That is why Tommy always tells the story that it took the greatest lefthander to knock him off the roster!
Here is Sandy with with Roseboro.

I have some other pictures of Sandy from the last time the Dodgers went to Fenway Park but they are at work and I don’t go back to work until January 4th, 2010!!
Happy Birthday Sandy!
Everyone here at the MLBlogsphere, have a wonderful new year!
Dodger Blue World 
Happy birthday to Sandy! He was truly an amazing player, and I respect him very much. I’m sure he would be happy to know that a huge Dodger fan like you remembered his birthday.

I iwsh I could have been around to see Koufax pitch. I’m sure alot of people say that considering he retired in his prime as well. However, what he did in his hsort year in the league were superb and being so young and inducted in the hall of fame is something he and Dodgers fans should and I am sure do-cherish.

Sandy looks amazing. I think the last time I saw him was at the Hall of Fame induction ceremonies over the summer and he was as handsome and trim as always. Happy Birthday to him and Happy New Year to you, Emma.
