I read the linked story(by clicking on
MLB News). All I got is that Koufax &
a bunch of others are upset about a
gossip column mention implying he is
Gay. Nowhere does he or anyone else
confirm he is Gay. They're just mad as
hops it was implied.

Is there confirming info out there? I
did not seek out knowing such a thing
about Koufax or anyone. But now I do
want to understand what is going on.

Previous posts assume this is known.

If I was Sandy and this was not true, I would sue.

But that is not how the gossipmongers work. They don't mention names or facts, they report rumors and don't name names. Like last year they wrote a little piece about a rumor going arond that a member of the Mets is gay. Right away the rest of the press and public assumes it's true and pretty soon they are all asking question to several players to feed the frenzy. Same here. They don't want to get sued so the do it on the sly, giving just enough information for everyone to narrow it down to a few people or in the case of Koufax, just him, without naming him, of course.
