Koufax wouldn't be considered such an overrated pitcher if he actualy had a winning record his first 7 years in the league. It always amazes me how Koufax fans just dismiss his first 6 years, which are mediocre, at best. No longevity and no consistancy other than he was consistanly bad for 6 years and dominating for another 6. Thus, why many think he is overrated.

there is no arguing that he was a dominant pitcher in his prime, but show me another that sucked so badly at teh begining of his career and is still regarded as a great pitcher. I looked at a bunch of lefty HOFers and none went more than 3 years before showing their greatness and lefties are notorious sor careers that start slow.
