  • Chicago Cubs Were Game Opponents Start to Finish in Sandy Koufax's Career
    Chicago Cubs were game opponents start to finish in Sandy Koufax’s career By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Friday, August 28, 2015 (First of a two-part series on the 50th anniversary of Sandy Koufax’s perfect game over the Cubs on Sept. 9, 1965 in what may have been the greatest pitching duel in history with Chicago lefty Bob Hendley.) The story about Sandy Kou- Walter Alston (left) first used Sandy Koufax (right) sparingly, a tac- fax’s perfect game over the tic that upset Jackie Robinson (center) in his final season with the Cubs isn’t just about its 50th Brooklyn Dodgers. Later, Alston grossly overpitched Koufax. anniversary, the sheer mag- nificence of the Hall of Famer’s performance or the Cubs’ unparalleled streak of not be- ing no-hit since the Koufax game just ended by Cole Hamels on July 25, 2015 at Wrigley Field. Behind every all-time performance is a back story of people with emotions and desires, of standards and motivations. The Koufax saga goes back a decade from Vin Scully’s un- forgettable radio call of “Two and two on Harvey Kuenn, one strike away…” and forward two generations to the present. It is the story of individuals lifted above their middling stature in baseball to establish a special connection to Koufax, a quietly tough-guy manager who grossly mishandled Koufax, the pitcher’s resulting underlying push to prove himself and overcome constant arthritic pain, and an undermanaged, undermanned team making Koufax work espe- cially hard for a win in almost every head-to-head battle.

  • North Carolina State University Year-By-Year Baseball Records
    NORTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY 197 SAM ESPOSITO Head Baseball Coach A former major leaguer, Sam Esposito was handed the North Carolina State baseball reins in 1967 following the retirement of veteran Vic Sorrell, and the Wolfpack has not experienced a losing season under his direction. After an 11-11 break-even season in his first campaign, the Wolfpack has been menacingly on the prowl and twice posted 21 or more victories. The apex of his five-year State career came in 1968 when he steered the Wolfpack to the Atlantic Coast Con- ference championship, the NCAA Dis- trict III title and a third-place finish in the collegiate World Series as the team finished with an overall record of 25-9, the best in State’s history. Esposito, who also serves as a f?- basketball assistant, has seen his teams etch an imposing 92-52-1 record, an average of more than 18 wins per season, and against ACC competi- tion, his clubs stand 50-33. Last season, State went 18-11-1 and was in contention for the conference title untilkthe final week of the race, ending with a 9-5 league mar .
