Happy Birthday, Sandy!
Above is a 1967 vintage press photo of Koufax sitting in the broadcast booth for NBC. As you know, he was a broadcaster for a short time after retiring from the game. (eBay Auction Link) I am unsure where exactly the photo was taken, but clearly it's not Dodger Stadium -- those terrace seats are all wrong. The reverse of the photo makes some indication that this pic is from the 1967 All-Star Game in Anaheim:
National League trainer Bill Buhler had a special visit Tuesday -- Sandy Koufax, who made Buhler's method of ice packing pitching arms famous.Of note, the reverse of the photo has a small news snippet attached stating:
Koufax tossed only words on television in the 15-inning All-Star classic. But Buhler, the Los Angeles Dodger and form St. Paul Saint trainer, was still working with pitching arms.
