According to Haaretz, Sandy Koufax has been drafted to play for the Modiin Miracle in the new Israel professional Baseball League. He is 71 years old and was the final player drafted.
Can you imagine sitting next to Sandy Koufax on the bench in a baseball game in Israel? Or even better - imagine homering off Sandy, or even hitting a double off of the great Sandy Koufax!
At least he will not have to worry about the dilemma of playing ball on Yom Kippur with his new team!
Let me know when Sandy reports for spring training.
ReplyDeleteI think drafting him was just symbolic. But I hope he comes for some ceremony, maybe opening day or something. That would really be cool
