The Word
Left-handed praise
You may have read elsewhere that an unnamed "baseball hero" who is the subject of a best-selling biography allegedly agreed to cooperate with the author only after receiving a promise that the book would not reveal he is gay. Now, The Word is no sports fan, but does read best-seller lists, and that made it pretty simple to narrow down the possible subject of that blind item to Sandy Koufax, the great left-handed Dodger pitcher whose bio was a big book this Christmas.
Koufax gay? Nothing wrong with that — but no way!
The Word easily confirmed that Koufax lives in Greenwich Village and in Bucks County, Pa., with a woman he met on Tortola, where they both often spend time. She bears an uncanny resemblance to Carly Simon — and Koufax isn't her first brush with celebrity. She was the roommate of First Lady Laura Bush at Southern Methodist University.
The only other baseball guy who has a book out right now is Joe Dimaggio and his best friend/advisor.
If Sandy wasn't gay, why not just accept the apology and continue working in Spring Training as the 'unofficial' pitching coach emertius?
