Statue of Sandy Koufax
A bronze statue of Sandy Koufax was unveiled outside Dodger Stadium on June 18, 2022. Koufax was a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1955 to 1966 and is widely considered to be one of the greatest pitchers of all-time. Statue
The sculpture was created by artist Branly Cadet who had also created the statue of Jackie Robinson for the Dodgers in 2017. It depicts Koufax’s signature leg kick as he prepares to throw and also shows Koufax determined and a picture of calm as he goes into his windup. Cadet stated, "I think for me more than anything I wanted to capture his strength, his focus and integrity. Although he's a very quiet and absolute gentleman, there's a part of him that's just a fierce competitor." Koufax picked the inspiration image for the statue and also gripped a baseball for a photograph of his left hand in order to depict it as accurately as possible. The quote on the statue, by Koufax, says: "As teammates, we were bound together by a single interest and common goal. To win. Nothing else mattered and nothing else would do." References
