Sandy Koufax vs. Mr. Ed

MLB.com's Cut4 did a shoutout yesterday to Sandy Koufax, and specifically how Koufax was shown up by the four-legged steed:

In 1963, Mr. Ed paid a visit to Dodger Stadium. In the show's fourth-season premiere, "Mr. Ed Meets Leo Durocher," the Los Angeles coach takes a liking to America's sweet-horse and his owner when Ed offers some clutch batting tips to the team.

The episode featured Willie Davis, Johnny Roseboro, and Moose Skowron, as well as the voice of Vin Scully. Mr. Ed even got to take some BP with Sandy Koufax, hitting one out of the park. If you enjoyed Air Bud: Seventh Inning Fetch (and if you didn't, you're lying), you'll be equally delighted by the generally not-seen-in-nature sight of a horse at bat:

Enjoy.
