But during those six years he was a terror at the plate, thumping 30 to 40 homers a year and along with Jackie, Pee Wee, Campy, Duke and Furillo created one of the greatest middle of the lineup in baseball history. If he didn't die while managing the Mets and won maybe another World Series in Queens, then I think the combination of playing and managing success would have put him in.

... 's probably the best-hitting pitcher who's played the game, but it's hard to see a pitcher with eight good years and 193 career wins in the Hall of Fame, especially without any postseason juice (he pitched for just one pennant-winning team and didn't see any action in the World Series). Ferrell, a great pitcher for eight years who was basically finished before he turned 30, would have a Sandy Koufax sort of case, except he never had one season as good as Koufax's third best.

Guest Writer Will Carroll Picks the Historical Creampuff
Published 9/8/2008 by Rob Iracane at Walkoff Walk
... Sandy Koufax - I'm not sure if a guy who slathered his arm in capsacin before starts can be a creampuff. Koufax would use the substance, the stuff that makes hot peppers hot, so much that he needed new uniform tops since the clubbie couldn't get near it without his eyes burning. By the time his shoulder gave way, Koufax was the poster boy for "what if" baseball nuts, especially if you made the mistake of invoking his name around a Jew. Face it, Shawn Green or Ian Kinsler aren't going to work their way into many trivia answers. The story goes that if Koufax had been ...

Kuotastic!

[image] Kuo.   Three letters that have, at least when they begin (or fully make) the last name of a fireballing lefty for the Dodgers, served the franchise well.  While this current version doesn’t have the mystique of his predecessor (okay, it’s a stretch, but play along) he is pitching with the same type of dominance, making Hong-Chih Kuo a vital cog in the LA machine. After some very promising moments in 2006, last season was a lost one for the oft-injured hurler, to the point that his best highlight was the ...

Delgado promptly lined one the other way down the line that scored Cancel and Wright, who screamed and pumped his fist after sliding home to give the Mets a 3-1 lead. Delgado was thrown out at third to end the inning, but the damage had been done. ...

... and he left behind a long and storied legacy. Perhaps his most famous moment was dealing with one of the first instances of concerted collective bargaining in baseball: the Koufax/Drysdale holdout of 1966. Back then, you see, the reserve clause was still in effect, meaning players were under team control more or less in perpetuity. (It wouldn’t be until 1975, with the watershed Seitz decision, that free agency would become a possibility.) Hall of Fame pitchers Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale had other ideas, however. They decided, just ...

... For instance, both Altman and Savage claimed to have had tons of success against Sandy Koufax, and the words were barely out of their mouths when cell phones all around me began to punch up B-R.com in search of evidence. In reality, they hit .190/.190/.357 and .240/.240/.400 against Koufax, which probably isn't what they meant. Similarly, I won't blame Savage for using poetic license in saying that he "killed lefties" during a career that saw him hit .244/.340/.401 against them. ...
