I am confused. I read the ESPN article and are they saying that the POST is sorry that they got it wrong and Koufax isn't gay or that they were not supposed to say anything and he is gay?

That was my question, if the Post has retracted the article and apologized..why is Sandy still boycotting the Dodgers?

Doesn't matter whether he's gay. He hasn't imposed his private life on the public gay or straight, so the media have no right to impose on him. He's no longer a public person.

19" pitching mound and distant fences or not, he was sublime from 1961-66 and an awesome raw talent from 1955-60. He played 12 years for the Dodgers. During that time, they won four world titles, six NL titles (losing a seventh in a playoff with the Braves), finished second or better 10 times and in the first division 11 out of 12 seasons. It doesn't hurt your chances when your ace is going 25-5 with 11 shutouts, 20+ complete games, 300 strike outs, 300 innings pitched and an ERA under 2. Plus he won a World Series game, breaking the strikeout record as the Dodgers swept. That was in '63.
