And so that elevates him, you know, an eternal hero to the Jewish community and, you know,

big story of the Dodgers is how they incorporated so many different aspects of LA and America, all represented in this team, Fernando Mania and the Latinos, of course, Jackie Robinson, Chanho Park.

And of course, you know, Hideo Nomo and now Shohei Itani.

So there's all that, you know, Sandy Koufax is the preeminent Jewish sports hero, right?

So there's that element, his, his just excellence on the field that, you know,

kind of peaking when he throws that perfect game.

And he was someone that, again, I didn't get to see, but the reverence that the people that I knew had for him made me revere him.

I did get to see him throw out a first pitch one day at Dodger Stadium.

And the roar when he took the crowd is funny.

They sent out Magic Johnson at first, and then he calls in for the bullpen and Sandy Koufax comes out to throw out the first pitch.

And I can say, well, I saw Sandy Koufax pitch at Dodger Stadium now.

Yeah.

So we didn't get into him that much in the initial episode, but we do a companion episode for everyone where we talk to a figure from the history of this franchise.

So in this case, we talked to Jaime Harine, the Spanish speaking version of Vin Scully.

You know, he has been six decades as the Dodger.

play-by-play broadcaster in Spanish language.

And I asked him about Koufax.

He is someone who was intimately familiar with him.

So it's fascinating.

I asked him about Koufax and Drysdale, and he kind of talked about the differences between the two and how Koufax was a little harder to get to know as a broadcaster and as a person.
