I would just like to add one thing about Koufax. He never pitched on Jewish holy days through out his career. This wasn't just a one time thing, but was part of who he was. He also had the full support of Dodgers owner Walter O'Malley. So, the question of would this have been different had it been game 7 or 1 is no. I don't think the Dodger fan base would have treated Koufax any different. There are things more important than a baseball game. I have nothing but respect for Koufax.
