    Round Two (Players): Bernie Williams versus Sandy Koufax

    Bernie Williams (1995-2006): Bernie is the all-time leader in post-seasons games played and plate appearances, although Jeter will likely pass him this year. The all-time postseason leaders in runs scored, total bases, homeruns, RBIs, times on base and is only one behind in walks. He won the 1996 ALCS MVP award and much like Jeter, will be entering his 11th straight postseason in 2006.

    versus

    Sandy Koufax (1959, 1963, 1965-1966)
    Take out your dictionary, look up clutch and notice the picture of the great Sandy Koufax. What? It's not there? Alright then, find a picture and paste it in, it deserves to be there. Koufax led his Dodgers to three out of four World Series wins, posting a 0.95 ERA in 57 innings pitched, 61 strikeouts, 36 hits allowed and four complete games. In 1963, he topped Yankee great Whitey Ford with a World Series record of a 15 strikeout performance and thus earning the newspaper headline of 'K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-K-Koufax' which helped him to win his first World Series MVP. In 1965 (a year remembered for his physical pain, DOMINANT numbers and the Yom Kippur situation) against the Twins he put up a 0.38 ERA in 24 innings with 2 complete games. But yet the real story is that he pitched the do or die game 7 with the pain he was feeling and he did it on two days rest by clinching another Dodgers victory with a three hit shutout. Who says there is no such thing as clutch?
