You Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?! by Jonah Winter and Andre Carrilho - OPTIONAL

 
Never Heard of Sandy Koufax?! by Jonah Winter and Andre Carrilho
. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Schwartz and Wade (Random), 2009. 

EL – OPTIONAL

Sandy Kofax didn’t want to be a baseball player, but the scouts kept hanging around the field where this Jewish left-hander played with his friends. After two bad seasons, Kofax finally figures out the problem and goes on to being one of the best all-time pitchers in baseball. Then, after only six years, he retires.

Winter packs a lot of information in a small package. Baseball crazy kids will be happy – as will their dads.
