Two Living Legends

s

 I'm happy these two icons of baseball in the 1960s (and 1950s) are still with us.  Both Willie Mays from the Giants and Sandy Koufax of the Dodgers.

Both started on New York teams that moved to California in the late 50s.  Koufax had just retired when I started following baseball, but was a commentator on the NBC game of the week.  I learned of Mays through an article in the Scout magazine Boys Life.  Since Seattle did not have a team at the time, I adopted the San Francisco Giants as my favorite baseball club.

This picture was posted in the Sandy Koufax fan group on Facebook. 

Cool Things That We Ship

This rare autographed autobiography of the Great Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax was packed with other baseball memorabilia at The UPS Store in Crossroads.   The items were shipped to an auction house on the East Coast.

We Pack Collectables

We recently packed and shipped a baseball autographed by 1960s pitching legend Sandy Koufax at The UPS Store at 15600 NE  8th in Bellevue.

Sandy Koufax Collectable

My friend Joe, a baseball collector, models a yalmulke autographed by Sandy Koufax.  Koufax, a Dodger considered by some the greatest pitcher of all time, refused to pitch in a World Series game on Yom Kippur.
