As a Dodger fan, I’ve always been intrigued by the Koufax vs Kershaw comparison. Sandy had arguably the best 4 year peak of any pitcher. Though I have to admit Clay isn’t that far behind

Pedro is on deck.
Nod goes to Koufax but the fact that Kershaw is so close is a testament to how dominant he was
Koufax is the man
Fun comp but you really oughta make these rate stats cause this is more or less just recount Sandy’s games played stats over and over.
I’m still confused why they keep signing Kershaw to 1 year deals. Are they doing it to save money or what? I mean he’s 35 and we’re seeing guys like Verlander and Scherzer still throwing pretty well going into their 40s
Koufax was amazing. And three saves to boot.
Kershaw has a ring.
Koufax “The Left Arm of God”
24 more starts and 300+ innings should mean more than it does imo. A pitchers job is to be available and get outs.
The big difference is postseason. Koufax was lights out in the WS. Won two WS MVPs.
I don’t see complete games anywhere
First heard his name in 65 when broke my 5 year old twins forever heart. Lol
Not sure if others agree, but for me there’s Kershaw who is one of the great pitchers of his generation, and then there’s Koufax, who is one of the greatest pitchers who ever lived. Fair?
