Date1955 August 30

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph composed of three frames of Dodgers pitcher Sandy Koufax mid-pitch. The caption on the reverse (not shown) reads, "First victory in second start. New York. Brooklyn bonus baby Sandy Koufax shows the pitching form he used in hurling a two-hitter to gain his first major league victory in his second start. The 19-year-old Southpaw fanned 14 batters and walked only five men in leading the Dodgers to a 7-0 win over the Cincinnati Redlegs last weekend's 14-strikeouts set a 1955 record for National League pitchers. Koufax, a native of Brooklyn, was signed for $20,000 in 1954 when he was a student at the University of Cincinnati." According to the label on the reverse, the photograph was taken on August 30, 1955.
