Koufax Considers Court Action During Holdout
In Look Magazine an AP report notes Sandy Koufax says he would have seriously considered testing baseball's reserve clause in court if his contract dispute with the Los Angeles Dodgers kept him from playing. He and Don Drysdale warned they wouldn’t commit without the other's approval and discussed arbitration for salary disputes. The two pitchers demanded a three year deal and a $1 million package as an opening offer, later settled for a total around $240,000 for one season.
