...his first no-hitter against the Mets.

First inning went: strike one, strike two, strike three; strike one, strike two, strike three; strike one, strike two, strike three. Three strikeouts on nine pitches! (Wouldn't want to take anything away from Koufax by mentioning that that Mets team was one of the worst in major league history.)

In the 9th inning, Richie Asburn, formerly of Phillies fame, hit a little flare down the left field line foul that almost caused heart attacks among the Dodger throng. Ashburn hit .344 in 1951.

Note that three pitchers have done this twice: Lefty Grove, Sandy Koufax, and Nolan Ryan.
