This episode is the second scene in The Sievers, the third play in The Silverfields of Northbrook trilogy. Michael Silverfield played five seasons in the Northbrook Little League: two in the minors, three in the big time. His pitching hero was Sandy Koufax, a Jewish lefty with a lethal fastball. The April 13, 1964, Sports Illustrated baseball issue cover, a painting of Sandy Koufax, hangs in the Sievers' 2023 Portland, Oregon apartment. Michael G. Sievers, the left-handed writer, producer and creator of The Silver King's War reviews the family's life from 1955 to 1960 in the Chicago suburbs.
