Yes, I thought it was a cheap shot, and I fully understand Koufax' decision to cut ties with the Dodgers, when its parent company News Corp would print such thinly-veiled accusations in one of its papers.

That's just it, it's business (i.e. they think it will sell papers).

Koufax seems to be taking the high road. He's not out there making threats or counter-allegations, but just quietly severing ties because he feels they did something wrong.
More class in one man than in an entire corporation. |

What a bunch of morons.
Hopefully they'll get out of the baseball business, and then Sandy can reinstate ties with the new ownership. |

When those scumbags sell the Dodgers, I hope Sandy comes back. He certainly can't blame the LA-side of the operation for such nonsense.

Good for Koufax.
Now, for his sake, I hope the whole story dies down. He deserves better.
