Larry King, Fibber: First Deadspin poured cold water all over Larry King’s horse racing story, and a reader unearths this epic 1991 story from the Washington Post where Mr. King (nee Zieger) was busted in another lie, this one involving Sandy Koufax. “And with that, out comes the most remarkable story of the evening. It involves the neighborhood in Brooklyn where King grew up, and a snowy night in November 1950, and two of King’s boyhood friends. One was Herbie Cohen, who remains one of King’s closest friends to this day. The other was ‘Sandy Koufax, later to become a Hall of Fame baseball pitcher.’” A couple of days later, Koufax called the reporter: Never been friends with King, that story’s garbage.
