Praise for Sandy Koufax
“[A] must-read…a baseball classic; the first in-depth reporting on the life and career of the aloof Dodger icon.”
—Bill Madden, New York Daily News
“Leavy has written a very good and meaningful book about baseball. She knows the game and she is acute in placing it in its social context. She writes gracefully and with feeling.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review
“An honest and exquisitely detailed examination of a complex man.”
—Publishers Weekly
“In Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy, Jane Leavy has captured that awe we felt at who he was and what he did.”
—Philadelphia Inquirer
“Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy by Jane Leavy is both a biography of the great port-sider and an atmospheric rendering of another baseball reality.”
—Boston Globe
“Graceful…. Splendid.”
—David Gates, Newsweek
“Of the several hundred baseball books I’ve ingested over too many decades, very few can match Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy by Jane Leavy for insight and brilliance.”
—Dick Heller, Washington Times
“A sprightly but serious look…as complete a portrait as we are likely to get.”
—Toronto Globe and Mail
“[A] well-researched masterpiece.”
—Larry Stewart, Los Angeles Times
“One terrific read. This book would be a wonderful Christmas gift from a parent to a child who loves baseball—to show him a proper role model.”
—Dave Newhouse, Oakland Tribune
“Examines with the sobriety of a Talmudic scholar and the ease of a sports rat the contrast of the glittering baseball viruoso and the unpretentious guy who was too easily mistaken for aloof or indifferent.”
—The Baseball Archive
“A masterpiece of concise, often lyrical writing that is guaranteed to appeal to a broad audience.”
—Jewish Daily Forward
“Not simply a sports biography but also a social history of America in the 1950s and 1960s.”
—Sarasota Herald Tribune
“Well conceived and sharply drawn, a thinking fan’s biography.”
—Kirkus Reviews
