Perfect balance…He finishes every pitch on balance and ready to field the ball.
Ken Burns Baseball. A must-see….all nine innings of it.
Mickey Mantle: “Everything they were writing about him is true.”
Willie Mays: “Sandy would strike me out two or three times a game and I knew every pitch he was going to throw: fast ball, breaking ball. I knew it. He would let you look at it and still I could not hit it.”
Willie Stargel: “Hitting against him is like eating soup with a fork.”
Yogi Berra: “I can see how he won 25 games,” on Sandy’s 25-5 record in the 1963 season, “What I don’t understand is how he lost five.”
Sandy = G.O.A.T.
The Jewish Kid segment. Great tribute to the best lefty of my lifetime. But it’s a little convoluted. The first part of the clip shows SK pitching his PG against the Cubs. That is about all there is on film to this game. Later in the clip Vin Scully’s voiceover of the PG shows a still of SK and the scoreboard. This is wrong! SK’s PG was LA 1 Chi 0. Bob Hendley of the Cubs pitched a 1 hitter that night! Greatest pitched game ever! Google Doak Ewing or Baseball Ref. Doak has a load of rare films.
It is an exerpt from a 9-part / hour documentary by Ken Burns…simply entitled “Baseball”. It was released somewhere around the mid-90’s.
what documentary is this?
Yeah, because you are definitely an adult. You have the maturity level of an eight-year-old (no longer a 12-year-old as I previously stated) and you decide to dodge points when questioned.
I’m not wrong, and you still fail to tell me how I am. You have been proven wrong numerous times, and you have given me zero statistical evidence that shows why Koufax is better. The postseason is one thing, but an entire era is another thing. A thing you fail to address, time and time again.
I JUST TOLD YOU, you stupid bastard. You couldn’t leave it alone, agree to disagree. You had to push it over the line out of fear of being wrong, which you were to begin with, and now you’re bleeding all over this page. Take your alter ego and give it a rest. You shouldn’t be around adults.
No, I didn’t. Tell me where I said it made you homophobe.
I specifically said that you cannot be taken seriously because of ridiculously childish insults like that one. Of course you, once again, decide to twist my words and accuse me of lying.
Typical.
Sorry buddy, but no matter how many times you repeat your bullshit accusations, it doesn’t make you right. Or intelligent, for that matter.
And I am not the other person. Just because he also disagrees with you, doesn’t make him me.
Actually, you did. You reprinted it to demonstrate I’m a homophobe, of which you accused me under your alias. You’re addicted to lying. Go find a meeting.
Koufax, the winner who had no peer, over Martinez the choker, who had several. No contest.
I didn’t say that made you a homophobe. I said that made you immature. Just as assuming that I created another account just to argue with you, like you are so special.
I will ask a final time. Explain to me what makes me wrong.
Because you say so? That’s more of your outstanding logic at work.
You fail to bring up any statistical evidence. You ignore every point I make, you lie to further your own points, and you deny every fact there is.
Martinez over Koufax at a peak. No question.
You think I’m EricAnno? I was watching a video of Koufax (because as I mentioned before I’m a huge fan), and I saw this argument. I read through the posts and I saw that his comments were more well informed, and he had more valid points. Oh and by the way of the 5 pitchers, only Whitey Ford can compare to Pedro simply for the fact that the other four didn’t win nearly as many games. If they had kept going, they more likely than not would have slacked off.
Oh, and Eric…it would be helpful if you posted under just one name, not multiple names to get me to respond. You want to talk maturity? You can start right there.
LOL exactly how does that make me a homophobe? Because he’s NOT your boyfriend??? THAT I have to hear.
You lost, kid. It’s Koufax over Martinez. It was explained to you and you didn’t understand. Not saying you didn’t give it a shot, but it was an argument you couldn’t win.
“Your boyfriend had a few good years”
That, combined with the fact that your “arguments” are immature and quite wrong, and the fact that you still fail to respond to any of my points, added to the whole “you lie about everything and I always tell the truth” mentality that you obviously have make it quite difficult to take you seriously.
And that’s why I don’t take you seriously.
And that’s also why you have lost…repeatedly.
You continue to say that you won the argument (though you clearly did not), yet you don’t answer my question.
I asked you, kindly, to explain to me why I lost. As I said, I would love to hear your brilliant logic at work once again. You failed to respond the first time, I hope you do this time.
“and if you call me a homophobe, you can’t be taken seriously in any argument”
Coming from the guy who said:
Found what you wanted: there are currently five pitchers with a better career winning percentage than Martinez; if he keeps trying to come back , his percentage will likely fall below both Clemens and Koufax, who will both be judged as far greater pitchers than Martinez, who couldn’t win a clutch game even if the other team didn’t show up. I won the argument, and if you call me a homophobe, you can’t be taken seriously in any argument.
Oh and one more thing buddy, if you had to tag the reason why the mound was lowered to one person, it would be Bob Gibson more than Koufax… 22-9 With an ERA somewhere around 1.10, oh and a mere 13 shutouts.
But yes, the mound was lowered because hitters in the sixties had a far lower average BA….
BrianJonestown you’re wrong, admit it. Did Koufax have more dominant days? Yes. Is he an overall better pitcher? No. Pedro’s ERA is lower, his WHP is lower. I’m a huge Koufax Fan, but Martinez is just on a level by himself. And the thing that I love about ignorant people like you is that you are homophobic, and you turn to unintelligent insults because you lost in a far argument. Good Argument EricAnno, oh and Brian, Pedro is 216-99. Find me someone as good, why don’t you.
44 years ago tonight…Sandy’s perfect game versus the Cubbies!!!!!
Please explain to me how I lost. I would love to hear more of your brilliant logic.
LOL yawn…I didn’t win the argument, you lost it long before I had the chance. By all means keep screaming till you drop, but sooner or later you have to learn how to let go, to agree to disagree.
You tell me all these things about me:
“you claim victory”
“you just argue like a child”
“you’re either insane or 10 years old”
Yet they all perfectly describe you. Whenever you want to avoid what I say, you tell me I don’t make sense. You repeatedly tell me that I don’t listen, despite the fact that you have not brought up any points that are remotely decent or worth listening to. You keep telling me I’m lying, yet I have not said anything that is not supported by stats.
You fail.
Whoa…that made even less sense than usual for you. You did not understand my post, and you’re not only not listening, you’re trying to shift the basis of the argument while continuing to lie. Go home and stick pins into your Koufax voodoo doll. You lost and you’re finished here.
