The epic 162-page list — released today following a bankruptcy hearing for Madoff Securities — also includes the Mets owner Fred Wilpon, and virtual lineup card of his relatives, and the New York Mets Foundation.

Wilpon's Brooklyn Baseball Co. — which operates the Brooklyn Cyclones, a minor league affiliate — is also named on the list, as is Coney Island Baseball.

The notoriously private Koufax was asked by the Post last month if he had invested with Madoff, but his reps did not return calls for comment.

Koufax, a Hall of Famer, and Wilpon — childhood pals — both invested in Madoff care of Sterling Equities, Wilpon's real estate company.

A spokesman for Sterling Equities did not return a call for comment when the list was released earlier this evening.

It is not immediately known exactly how many millions Koufax or Wilpon's entities lost.

It wasn't just the boys of summer who got beaned by Madoff, who allegedly scammed billions from unsuspecting clients.

Norman Braman, the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, is also on the list of former clients and has previously admitted a big hit in the wide-reaching scandal.
