Sandy Koufax photograph

Date1963 October 02

DescriptionA black-and-white photograph of Sandy Koufax captured smiling as he holds up three newspapers announcing his record setting 15 strikeouts during game 1 of the 1963 World Series. Koufax's 15 strikeouts led the Los Angeles Dodgers to their 5-2 win over the New York Yankees on October 2, 1963. Koufax has a towel around his neck. The newspaper headlines read, "Koufax Wins, Fans 15," "How Koufax Did It," and "Koufax Beats Ford, Sets Strikeout Mark." Based on the newspapers this photograph was taken on October 2, 1963. The Los Angeles Dodgers went on to sweep the 1963 World Series against the New York Yankees in four games, with two of those wins being attributed to Koufax.
