Sunset tonight, which is basically now, marks the start of Yom Kippur. The highest of Jewish Holy Days. It's the Day of Atonement. A quick sports story about this day:
Hall of famer Sandy Koufax, one of the most famous Jewish athletes in American sports, made national headlines when he refuses to pitch in the first game of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur. When Koufax's replacement Don Drysdale was pulled from the game for poor performance, he told Dodger's manager Walter Alston, "I bet you wish I was Jewish, too."
