In this striking picture book biography, an old-timer tells us what made Sandy
Koufax so amazing. We learn that the beginning of his career with the Brooklyn

discrimination as one of the only Jews in the game. We hear that he actually
quit, only to return the next season--different--firing one rocket after another
over the plate. We watch him refuse to play in the 1965 World Series because it
is a Jewish high holy day. And we see him in pain because of an overused left
arm, eventually retiring at the peak of his career. Finally, we are told that
people are still "scratchin' their heads over Sandy," who remains a
modest hero and a mystery to this day.
