Sandy Koufax went to the same school as me. I graduated two years ahead of Sandy.

Larry King

Sandy Koufax is a great teacher. He just talks about competitiveness and being aggressive - about stride length, power, how to spin the breaking ball. The way he explains pitching is simple, which is something you don't see a lot.

Clayton Kershaw

The day I got a hit off (Sandy) Koufax was when he knew it was all over.

Sparky Anderson

I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don't understand is how he lost five.

Yogi Berra

We need just two players to be a contender. Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax.

Whitey Herzog

It is hard to compare the eras, but Joe Jackson and Ty Cobb from the past, Sandy Koufax and Roger Clements from the present.

W. P. Kinsella

When I have the ball I try to see as much of the pitch as possible, and movement off the ball helps you see where to play the pass.

Joao Moutinho

Trying to hit Sandy Koufax was like trying to drink coffee with a fork.

Willie Stargell

We need just two players to be a contender. Just Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax.

Whitey Herzog

Career highlights? I had two - I got an intentional walk from Sandy Koufax and I got out of a rundown against the Mets.

Bob Uecker

After I won 21 games, I said, "This isn't that hard actually. I can do this every year for maybe 10, 15 years." To tell you the truth I thought I was going to be in the Hall of Fame. I really thought that. You feel so strong, so powerful walking down the street. You know you can throw a ball harder than any man in the world, or certainly the top five. Sandy Koufax knocked all of us out of the box on that one, so we would think, "I'm the second or third hardest thrower in the game."

Jim Bouton

It doesn't affect me because I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone. [...] Piracy is the new radio. That's how music gets around. [...] That's the radio. If you really want to hear it, let's make it available, let them hear it, let them hear the 95 percent of it.

Neil Young

It's kind of glorious to say, "Oh man, this guy had his career cut short." I'm not calling myself Sandy Koufax by any means. I'm not in that caliber at all, but sometimes it has to end different.

Prince Fielder

When they operated, I told them to put in a Koufax fastball. They did-but it was Mrs. Koufax's.

Tommy John

I faced Gibson many times and faced Sandy Koufax three times.

Juan Marichal

It's quiet. No cars. No birds. Nothing.' 'No radio waves,' said the Doctor. 'Not even Radio Four.' 'You can hear radio waves?' 'Of course not. Nobody can hear radio waves,' he said unconvincingly.

Neil Gaiman
