Poor guy. He would have thrived in the NHL where the league shuts down over the weekend.

While Koufax was a great pitcher, there was NO season that he had an ERA as low as 0.86. He did do 1.73. Perhaps you are thinking of that? And besides, he played in an era that favored the pitcher, where the league ERA was very low. His best ERA+ (ERA adjusted for park and era effects) is 56th all time. And Koufax's career ERA+ is 33rd. Good, but not living God like.Originally posted by Zkribbler
Sandy Koufax is a living god.
In his prime, he had an ERA of 0.86. 
Unfortunately, he threw his elbow out at too young an age. 
That title is reserved for Pedro Martinez (and I'm being serious).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Depends on what's important to you.
I'm pretty sure this kid would opt for the sabbath over his playing commitments and end up in a different career that will accommodate him. It shouldn't be a choice between your faith and making a good living. It is possible to do both.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.
