Question: Sandy Koufax, one of the game’s greatest pitchers, is boyhood friends with Wilpon..they went to HS together. Koufax still makes an appearance at Mets spring trainig each year. Koufax had some financial difficulties a while back. I wonder if/why Wilpon ever had him invested with Bernie. Koufax is like a Jewish GOD to these guys..and admittedly, to me also, so I can’t believe they wouldn’t try to help him out...and Bernie would love to be able to say that Koufax was a client of his..heck..he’d probably have him atend his grandkids’ bar mitzvahs...it would be a coup..anyone see Sandy’s name on the list?
