Scott- Thanks for the Koufax info, I guess I will just miss out on him. I don't begrudge anybody their dollars but that is out of my budget. Wow?

In Sandy's defense, didn't he lose just about everything in the Madoff scheme or am I just dreaming this?

Mike,
I hope that he wasn't amongst those that got scammed by Madoff, but I'm not sure. My pleasure for answering your questions.

Koufax did invest with Madoff but not sure how much. For what it's worth, Koufax is a pretty savvy business man. Back in the day he was getting paid in cash for his appearances while others were taking checks and having an IRS paper trail. I would find it hard to believe he would have all his eggs in one basket.

The Al Simmons, Pie Traynor, and Casey Stengel are no good IMO. Guessing the trend would continue if I kept looking down his list.

I quickly glanced at these last night before I went to bed.
Lyons, Rick Ferrell, Winfield and Catfish all appear real to me. These are all players that I have gotten in person and I see no problems with them, per se.

I'll take your word on Simmons, Traynor, Stengel. A mixture of good and bad then? What about players like Al Lopez, etc.?

What you are insinuating does not make him savvy, it makes him a tax criminal. Stealing from US taxpayers is similar to Madoff stealing from his associates. On a much smaller scale, of course.
