• Legacy

  Koufax is considered one of the greatest left-handed pitchers of all-time in Major League Baseball history, and at one point he held the record with four no-hitters pitched. He led the Dodgers to three championships throughout his career. Arthritis in his arm forced him into retirement at only age 30, but his dominance was still good enough to merit induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.National Baseball Hall of Fame: Sandy Koufax
