Madoff's Client List: Sports Bigwigs Strike Out

The list of alleged victims who invested with Bernard Madoff emerged yesterday in a whopping 162-page report that includes actor John Malkovich, talk show host Larry King, and a handful of big-name (as well as minor-league) sports figures.

Among that list of sports names:

• Famed Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax
• Mets owner Fred Wilpon (Koufax and Wilpon are childhood friends)
• The Mets-controlled Brooklyn Baseball Company, which owns the minor-league Brooklyn Cyclones
• Former Mets infielder Tim Teufel
• Norman Braman, former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles
• Ozzie and Dan Silna, former owners of the American Basketball Association team the Spirits of St. Louis (read about them here and here.)
• Bob Nystrom, former player on the NHL's New York Islanders
