Sandy Koufax

And he, I mean, how bright is his future? He's going to win the Cy Young unanimously this year.

And because he started and won a World Series game, game five, he's going to join Sandy Koufax, 1963 and 65.

Steve Carlton, 1980, Brett Saberhagen, 1985, and Oral Hershiser, 1988, as players who started and won a World Series game in the same season in which they won Cy Young.

Carlton...

So in 2026, a 250 strikeout season, sub two ERA, wins a clinching game in the World Series, the last major league pitcher to do all that in one year.

1963, Sandy Koufax.

I mean, that is unbelievable, the year he had.

And obviously pitching a great year.

That'll bring up Ron Hunt.

Ron had an inside-the-park home run in the eighth inning for the Mets in the first ballgame won by Sandy Koufax, his record now 10-1.

It was the only earned run given up by Koufax, and it was tainted because the ball bounced over the head of Wes Parker, who was playing in center field.

It would have gone as a single if it had not taken the bad hop.

The ball going off to the left side.

Count goes to one ball and one strike.

In that first ballgame, Sandy Koufax struck out nine batters and got his tenth win.

He is now ten and one.

21-year-old Don Sutton on the mound tonight for the Dodgers.

He got a lot of attention in spring training this year at a time when Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale were holding out.

It appeared that he might be the number one man of the staff.

He's had a fine rookie season, winning 12 and losing 11.

Here's the pitching lineup for the Dodger Pirates series Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

In the Thursday night game here in Los Angeles, Woody Fryman against Don Drysdale.

Friday night, Vern Law against Sandy Koufax.

Sandy will be after his 24th win.

We were seeing posts on Twitter in the aftermath of Monday's 10-1 win.

We were seeing posts on Twitter where Robert Gasser was named in the same breath as Sandy Koufax.

Sandy Koufax.

We are talking about some of the all-time greatest pitchers in Major League Baseball history.

Again, I'm not saying Robert Gasser or Sandy Koufax, but some of the evidence is starting to build up.

But that was the company he was keeping after that.

So coming out of Monday.

He really was.

He was a baseball player, could hit Sandy Koufax better than anybody else in baseball.

He was known for that.

which was kind of an interesting thing about Uke.

And then Mickey himself raced home on the single by Willie Horton to give the Tigers the victory.

Well, the great pitchers of other eras are down there now with Denny McClain, Sandy Koufax.

A more recent vintage than the great Dizzy Dean, who is also out there.

Dizzy, a 30-game winner back in the 30s, there to congratulate Denny McClain.

Strike call on the count of 0-2 to Spencer.

In addition, he said that young David, with eight strikeouts and five innings, must have thrown just like his old buddy Sandy Koufax.

I think he picked the right number.

What was their score? They were just early in the game, and to be quite frank with you, I didn't ask him because they were asking all the questions about the crowd and David Clyde here.
