Larry will probably tell stories about his imaginary friendship with Sandy Koufax including the times he taught Sandy his wicked 12-6 curve and to throw slower to improve his control.
For my money, gang, there's no better kick returner than Leodis McKelvin....Don't count out the Mets in the 2009 pennant race!...Here's who should sing the national anthem at every game: Miss Bernadette Peters...that Jim Harrick is a class act...of all the winter olympic sports, the nordic combined has the most suspense...
I hope this crazy old coot doesn't ask John A. Walsh what happened to his son, that would be bad. Because he disowned him when the kid came out of the closet.
Sept. 24th: "Just got back from Bristol. Had to kill pack of rabid coyotes with bare hands. Erin Andrews thanked me with 12 consecutive hours of fellatio."
Those old timers are CROOKED! We know about the mobbed-up Sinatra, the "payola'd" Dick Clark and now Larry "Friend of Koufax" King, I am waiting for the shoe to drop on "Reeg" Philben.
They drive and drive, Larry and Herbie up front, Sandy and another kid named Bernie in the back. They find the Carvel, where the price for three scoops is indeed 15 cents, and then they pile back in the car. "Sandy knew New Haven pretty good," King goes on. "He says, 'Listen, I'll drive you around. Cut down this street, and we'll be on Broadway, and I'll show you the main drag.' " Somehow, they end up at an election rally. Somehow, Larry and Herbie end up on stage introducing the mayor. "Sandy can't believe it," King says. "He collapses. He's on the floor . . . he couldn't stop laughing." It takes King more than 10 minutes to tell the entire story, and when he is done the ovation is loud and long. "Every inch of this story is true," he says. "It seems like it's not, but it's true. I swear to God."
But there's a problem.
"This is Sandy Koufax," the man on the phone says a few days later. "I've never been in New Haven, not to this day."
Furthermore, he says, he and Larry King have never been friends.
In fact, he says, even though they grew up in the same neighborhood, he didn't get to know King until long after both had left Brooklyn behind. King was on the radio by the time they met, and the Carvel story had already become a part of his life.

"I asked him about it," Koufax remembers.
And?
"He just laughed."
