In 1960, after six years in Major League Baseball, pitcher Sandy Koufax had an 8-13 record, the worst of his career. At the same time he was second in the league with 191 strikeouts. Then in 1961, backup catcher Norm Sherry gave him some advice: "If you get behind the hitter, don't try to throw hard. When you force your fastball, you're always high with it." Something clicked, and in an afternoon the famously inconsistent Koufax seemed to become a brand-new pitcher. Stats. Bibliography. Web sites. Index.
