It was 50 years ago today that I was huddled around an eight transistor radio at the soda fountain counter at Reidy’s Drug Store in Jackson Square in East Weymouth Massachusetts. We were listening to the voice of the man … Continue reading
Koufax and Kershaw, Leveling the Playing Field…
In my last post, I gave you a pretty comprehensive overview of Sandy Koufax and Clayton Kershaw.

Clayton Kershaw, Sandy Koufax and a Comparison in Dominance…
