Sandy Koufax wasn’t the first Jewish pitcher to win the World Series MVP Award for the Dodgers. That distinction goes to Larry Sherry. However, as a youngster, Sherry seemed a highly unlikely candidate to pitch anywhere, let alone in a World Series game. Born with two club feet, he wore braces on his legs until he was 12. Finally unencumbered, he quickly showed his athletic prowess. The Dodgers signed him in 1953 at the age of 18. After pitching 5 games in 1958, he burst on to the scene with the Dodgers in 1959. Only 23, he compiled a 2.19 ERA in 23 games. Then he saved his best for the World Series against the White Sox. He completed all four of the Dodgers victories with a stellar 0.71 ERA in 12 2/3s innings. As if that wasn’t enough, he also had 2 hits in 4 at bats. The showing earned him World Series MVP honors. Another high point for Sherry occurred on May 7, 1960, when he teamed with his brother Norm, a catcher, to form the only Jewish brothe

Larry Sherry began life with two strikes against him: He was born with clubfeet. His mother had taken a fall during her pregnancy and family members think that was the cause. But who knows? He had severe trouble walking until he was about twelve years old. After a series of operations and being outfitted with special shoes that he has worn throughout his life Larry went on to overcome this disability and become a major league baseball player. His brothers before him were all good athletes. All three had played baseball for their high school team. Larry was determined to follow in their footsteps.
But first he had to have the operations and wear the corrective shoes. When he did he not only would follow in their footsteps as a star athlete at Fairfax High but created his own footnote — and more — when he starred in the 1959 World Series.
At Fairfax High in Los Angeles, Larry was also a star basketball player. He captained the basketball squad and set a record at the school by scoring 22 points in a game.
