The Day a 1-Hitter Los to a Perfect Game

This could be another tale of the astounding exploits of Sandy Koufax, one more of so many; and each one warranted. Seldom has a person & pitcher pairing produced such excellence on both sides of the ampersand. Koufax was as magnificent a pitcher as any who ever has stood on a big league mound. And he remains as splendid a human being as any who has graced the planet -- courteous, caring, generous and unassuming. Koufax pitched four no-hitters, won three Cy Young Awards -- each unanimously -- struck out all comers and routinely shrunk the biggest and baddest hitters to Eddie Gaedel proportions and turned their wooden bats into paper-mache replicas.
