Who was a 1920's sports star?
If you include pitchers (you should; however, someold-timers would disagree), the best player in the 1960s was Sandy Koufax. No other single player dominated the way Koufax did until an arthritic elbow forced him to retire after the 1966 season. He won 3 Cy Youngs, won 25+ games three times (and was on track to do that in two other seasons until injuries shortened them). He led the National League in ERA 5 straight years and led the league in strikeouts 3 times, including a league record 382 in 1965. That's what I call domination.
