I’ve always hated the Dodgers with a passion but I *do* recall as a kid having heard that Koufax wouldn’t pitch on Saturdays because of his religion.

Koufax did regularly pitch on Friday nights and Saturday days.

Pitcher Jose Bautista (not the current non-Jewish outfielder with the same name), also did not pitch or attend games on the Jewish High Holidays.
