After Sandy Koufax, this was the best pitcher ever saw.

He could throw (and how!), but I always felt his trademark was his absolute pin-point control.

Gawd, those were the days...

CA....

Koufax doesnt get injured, he would have won it.....Koufax jammed his pitching arm while diving back to second base to beat a pick-off throw.

He managed to continuing pitching and to win two more games. However, the morning after his nineteenth win, a shutout in which he struck out 13, he could not straighten his arm.

He was diagnosed by Dodgers’ team physician Robert Kerlan with traumatic arthritis. Koufax still finished the year with an impressive 19-5 record.
