Some quick quotes by/about Koufax

"Pitching is the art of instilling fear."

"There is among us a far closer relationship than the purely social one of a fraternal organization because we are bound together not only by a single interest but by a common goal. To win. Nothing else matters, and nothing else will do." Source: What Baseball Means to Me (Sandy Koufax)

"Show me a guy who can't pitch inside and I'll show you a loser." Source: Late Innings (Roger Angell)
