Sandy Koufax enjoyed a five-year stretch as perhaps the most dominating pitcher finally tamed his blazing fastball, he in the game's history. He was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1963. He also won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 Cy Young Awards by unanimous votes, making him the first 3-time Cy Young winner in baseball history and the only one to win 3 times when the award was for all of baseball, not just one league. In each of his Cy Young seasons, Koufax won the pitcher's triple crown by leading the NL in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average. He won 25 games three times, captured five straight ERA titles and set a new standard with 382 strikeouts in 1965. Koufax was the first major leaguer to pitch four no-hitters (including the eighth perfect game in baseball history). Despite his
comparatively short career, Koufax's 2,396 career strikeouts is ranked 7th in history as of his retirement, trailing only Warren Spahn among left-handers. He posted a 0.95 ERA in
four career World Series, leading the Dodgers to three championships. He was also the first pitcher inducted into the Hall of Fame who had more strikeouts than innings pitched.
Don't wait any longer to take home this unparalleled showcase of Sandy Koufax.
