He'll be working on 14,875 days rest

There's a new professional baseball league starting up this year ... in Israel.

Six teams will begin competing June 24th in the inaugural season for the Israel Baseball League.

The league recently held its player draft, and with the final overall pick, the Modi'in Miracle selected 71-year-old Sandy Koufax.

"His selection is a tribute to the esteem with which he is held by everyone associated with this league," said former big leaguer Aret Shamsky, who will manage the Miracle. "It's been 41 years between starts for him. If he's rested and ready to take the mound again, we want him on our team."

I have it on good authority that Sandy's 2007 version of his fastball doesn't have the ability to break the afikomen, much less bats anymore.
