For the second half of his career Sandy Koufax was probably the greatest lefty ever. Period, end of statement! He wasn't just a product of his home ballpark---check his road record. Besides, when you strike guys out it doesn't matter what park you are pitching in. Again, compare him to his peers. With the exception of Gibson, no one was close. Was Koufax a late bloomer---absolutely. However, during the second half of his career he was the best pitcher I have ever seen.
