Getting your player ready...
The story line was simple — two guys from Brooklyn talking baseball. Joe Torre invited Sandy Koufax, left, to talk about their lives at a fundraiser for Torre’s Safe At Home Foundation to combat domestic abuse. But the Dodgers manager didn’t think the reclusive Koufax would come. Only Koufax, 74, did show up. “It gave me goose bumps,” Torre said of the sellout crowd of 7,100 at the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles and raising more than $750,000. “Where’d you go?” sportswriter T.J. Simers asked the Hall of Famer Koufax, who retired at age 30. “I went home,” he said. “Your most precious asset is time. Spend your money foolishly, spend your time wisely.” The Associated Press; AP photo
