Congrats to Sandy Koufax for winning Baseball Digest’s sixth annual Lifetime Achievement Award.
The announcement appears in the May/June 2026 issue.
“The name Sandy Koufax has become a synonym for ‘great pitcher,’” according to Baseball Digest publisher David Fagley.
Koufax turned 90 this past December and still looks like he could toss an inning or two.
Previous recipients include Willie Mays, Vin Scully, Joe Torre, Dusty Baker, and Bob Costas. Is it just me or does there seem to be a bit of a California bias here?
