  • Sanford "Sandy" Koufax (born Sanford Braun, on December 30, 1935) is an American left-handed former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1955 to 1966. Koufax's career peaked with a run of six outstanding seasons from 1961 to 1966, before arthritis ended his career at age 30. He was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1963. He also won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 Cy Young Awards by unanimous votes, all during the period when only one pitcher was chosen per season, making him the first 3-time Cy Young winner in baseball history. In each of his Cy Young seasons, Koufax won the pitcher's triple crown by leading the NL in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average. Koufax's totals would also have led the American League in those seasons. Koufax was the first major leaguer to pitch four no-hitters. Despite his comparatively short career, Koufax's 2,396 career strikeouts ranked 7th in history as of his retirement, trailing only Warren Spahn (2,583) among left-handers. Retiring at the peak of his career, he became, at age 36 and 20 days, the youngest player ever elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Koufax is also remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports. His decision not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur garnered national attention as an example of conflict between social pressures and personal beliefs.
  • Sanford „Sandy“ Koufax ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Baseball-Pitcher der Brooklyn Dodgers und der Los Angeles Dodgers in der Major League Baseball. Koufax ist mit drei Cy Young Awards für den besten Pitcher, drei MLB-Meisterschaften, drei Babe Ruth Awards für den besten Playoff-Spieler, einem Most Valuable Player Award der National League und sechs Auszeichnungen zum All-Star einer der erfolgreichsten Werfer aller Zeiten. Darüber hinaus warf er vier No-Hitter und ein Perfect Game. 1972 wurde Koufax in die Baseball Hall of Fame aufgenommen. Der dem jüdischen Glauben angehörende Koufax erlangte über den Sport hinaus Bedeutung. Im 1. Spiel der World Series 1965 trat er nicht an, weil dieses Spiel an Jom Kippur stattfand. Dieser Vorfall erregte nationales Aufsehen, weil es die Kluft zwischen professioneller Berufsauffassung und persönlichem Glauben aufzeigte. Unter amerikanischen Juden gilt Koufax deswegen als Held.
  • Sanford "Sandy" Koufax es un lanzador zurdo retirado de las Grandes Ligas de Béisbol que jugó toda su carrera con los Dodgers de Brooklyn y de Los Angeles. Comenzó su carrera en 1955 y se retiró en 1966. Es muy famoso por sus 6 grandes temporadas de 1961 a 1966, antes de que la artritis terminara su carrera a la edad de 31. Un pitcher contra el que era difícil batear, también es conocido por ser el primero en lanzar más de 3 juegos sin hit, el primero en permitir menos de 7 hits por cada nueve entradas y el primero en ponchar a más de nueve bateadores por cada nueve entradas lanzadas. Entre los pitchers de la Liga Nacional con al menos 2000 entradas lanzadas que hicieron su debut desde 1913, el tiene el porcentaje de victorias más alto (.655) y el promedio de carreras limpias más bajo (2.76); sus 2396 ponches eran la séptima mejor marca en las Grandes Ligas cuando se retiró y estaba detrás de los 2583 ponches de Warren Spahn como el mejor entre pitchers zurdos. Retirándose prácticamente en el auge de su carrera, Koufax se convirtió después– a sus 36 años–en el jugador más joven en ser elegido al Salón de la Fama del Béisbol. También es reconocido por un momento muy memorable en su carrera, que ocurrió durante la Serie Mundial de 1965. Koufax, siendo judío, se negó a lanzar el primer partido por que ese día era el Yom Kipur.
  • Sanford "Sandy" Koufax on yhdysvaltalainen baseballpelaaja. Hän aloitti Los Angeles Dodgersissa aikana, jolloin se vielä tunnettiin Brooklyn Dodgersina, ja pelasi siinä koko MLB-uransa. Koufax syntyi New Yorkin Brooklynissä ja koki 3-vuotiaana vanhempiensa avioeron. Hän on juutalainen ja hallitsi high school -vuosinaan erinomaisesti sekä baseballin että koripallon, mutta baseball osoittautui lajiksi, jolla hän myöhemmin nousisi kansainväliseen kuuluisuuteen. Koufax jätti uransa kesken, kun hänellä todettu artriitti eteni pelaamisen estäväksi. Hänet valittiin Baseball Hall of Fameen vuonna 1972.
  • Sandy Koufax était un joueur américain de baseball. Il a joué toute sa carrière aux Dodgers de Los Angeles. Entre 1955 et 1966 Koufax a gagné 18 prix majeurs, dont le trophée Cy Young récompensant les meilleurs lanceurs à trois reprises. Koufax est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs lanceurs de l'histoire de baseball. Il fait partie des 17 lanceurs à avoir lancé une partie parfaite (où aucun frappeur n'atteint les buts). Il a gagné trois fois le trophée Cy Young en quatre saisons, mais a pris sa retraite après seulement 11 saisons, à cause de l'arthrite. L'équipe des Dodgers a retiré le numéro de son uniforme (32) pour qu'aucun joueur ne puisse le prendre. Il a établi plusieurs records des Ligues majeures, le plus grand nombre de retraits sur les prises en une saison (382) et le plus grand nombre de no-hitters (4). Ces deux records ont été battus par Nolan Ryan, mais Koufax détient les records pour un gaucher.
  • È stato uno dei più grandi lanciatori della storia del baseball, detentore di numerosi record, tra cui la distinzione di essere uno dei 17 giocatori ad aver lanciato un perfect game, nel 1965. La sua intera carriera professionistica si è svolta con la maglia dei Dodgers, dal debutto, il 24 giugno 1955 fino al 1958 nella sua città natale, Brooklyn, e poi a Los Angeles, fino alla sua ultima partita, il 2 ottobre 1966, quando aveva solo 31 anni, a causa dell'artrite che lo perseguitava. Con i Dodgers, ha vinto 4 World Series. Nelle World Series è stato eletto MVP per ben due volte (1963 e 1965). Batteva destro e tirava mancino. In tutta la sua carriera ha segnato una record di partite Vinte-Perse di 165-87; la sua media PGL (ERA in inglese) è stata di 2,76 ed ha messo a segno un totale di 2396 strikeout. Tra i suoi record ci sono 4 no-hitter e 4 partecipazioni all'All-Star Game. Nel 1972 è stato eletto membro della Baseball Hall of Fame.
