Sandy Koufax: A Lefty's Legacy by Jane Leavy

5.0

Halfway through the book I told my friend that the only words I had about it, and about Koufax, were "It's so much". "He's so much." *Edit: meaning that this book, in some ways, was indescribably emotional and it really just. Hit. The right spots emotionally! Love a brilliant and loving and wonderful and in pain baseball god.

I didn't grow up a baseball fan. In fact, before the beginning of this year I'd never given it a second thought, much less knew who Sandy Koufax was. But uh. This book was just. A Real Lot. The best biography I could have asked for.

*Edit: Might re-read it after I watch his perfect game and cry
