Larry talks with author, and former award-winning sportswriter for The Washington Post, Jane Leavy about her new book, Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy (HarperCollins), a biography of the Hall of Fame Dodgers pitcher. Koufax compiled a remarkable record from 1962-1966 that saw him lead the National League in Earned Run Averages for all five years, win three Cy Young awards, and pitch four no-hitters, including a perfect game. He is also legendary for his refusal to pitch the opening game of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur. Larry will discuss his life, his retirement from the game, and his legendary status as baseball’s most famous recluse.
