First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. [6] 294, [18] pages. Frontis illustration. Statistics. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some corner bumping. Pencil notations inside front cover. Includes 17 pages of unique Koufax statistics provided by Allan Roth, former Dodger statistician, including a game-by-game breakdown of Koufax's entire pitching career through 1965. Sandy Koufax was a left-handed pitcher; he played his entire Major League career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1955-1966. the book is worth it for the detailed description of Game 1 of the 1963 World Series. At times, he goes batter-by-batter, pitch-by-pitch, telling you what's going through his mind and what he's trying to accomplish with each pitch to the likes of Mantle, Maris, and company. Sanford "Sandy" Koufax (born Sanford Braun; December 30, 1935) is a former American Major League Baseball (MLB) left-handed pitcher. He pitched 12 seasons for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1955 to 1966. Koufax, at age 36 in 1972, became the youngest player ever elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Koufax's career peaked with a run of six outstanding years from 1961 to 1966, before arthritis in his left elbow ended his career prematurely at age 30. He was an All-Star for six seasons and was the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1963. He won three Cy Young Awards in 1963, 1965, and 1966, by unanimous votes, making him the first three-time Cy Young winner in baseball history and the only one to win three times when one overall award was given for all of major league baseball instead of one award for each league. Koufax also won the NL Triple Crown for pitchers those same three years by leading the NL in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average. Koufax was the first major league pitcher to pitch four no-hitters and the eighth pitcher to pitch a perfect game in baseball history. Despite his comparatively short career, Koufax's 2,396 career strikeouts ranked 7th in history as of his retirement, trailing only Warren Spahn (2,583) among left-handers. Koufax, Randy Johnson, Pedro Martínez, and Nolan Ryan are the only four pitchers elected to the Hall of Fame who had more strikeouts than innings pitched. Koufax is also remembered as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes in American sports. His decision not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because it fell on Yom Kippur garnered national attention as an example of conflict between professional pressures and personal beliefs.

First printing in very good condition with clean text and handsome boards (bumped corners) but wear on the dust jacket (see photos). Still a much nicer dust jacket than most and looks quite appealing with a new mylar cover. Expedited and international shipping are welcome; signed by author. Signed.
