I have read the book. Again, I agree with you that it is not Koufax elevating himself. A lot of people are dignified and kind. I know it isn't Leavy who elevates him but rather many of his other admirers. Tom Beck www.prydonians.org www.mercerjewishsingles.org "I always knew I'd see the first man on the Moon.
