Sandy Koufax was a Jewish lefty baseball pitcher for the Brooklyn Dodgers. He pitched with is left hand for 6 years. When he first began playing for the Dodgers, he didn't play much because he was a rookie and rookies were known to lose. Koufax was a quiet guy and he kept to himself most of the time, so he never really had any friends. After a season of playing baseball, he decided to leave, but by next season everything changed. He began to pitch like never before; he was known as the strike out machine. After six years of baseball, Koufax decides to retire because his arm was giving him trouble so had to make a choice.
