1965 World Series Highlights

[@thomasodetto4670]

I am a lifelong Dodger fan. My all time Dodger idol was Sandy Koufax. In the mid 1970’s, I had the pleasure of meeting Sandy in San Francisco. He was a class man and talked with me for about 10 minutes. Before he went on his way, he gave me his autograph and I was in Heaven for several weeks.

@M It may be big but I just don’t think it’ll catch on in the States the way baseball or the rest of the pro spots have. Nothing against soccer but it’s just not a major draw in the US.

[@ADEAL918]

Crazy thing about this series. In all 7 games, the winning pitcher threw a complete game. The last time a series featured all complete games had been 1940, it has never been repeated since, and I guarantee it never will happen again, as the complete game is a lost art.

[@yuckyool]

In retrospect, if you were managing the Dodgers, would you really have left Koufax out for all 9IP in Game 5 (with a 7-0 lead?!) . . . especially in hindsight, going back to him for Game 7 (2 days rest)? The greatest pitcher of that era, then ended up retiring at age 32, at the end of the following season . . . so maybe it's ok that that "lost art" has been lost!?

[@ADEAL918]

@@yuckyool no, I probably wouldn’t have had him go the distance with that kind of a lead, you can be smart but still at least leave the complete game as a possibility to use when appropriate. Not like today when pitchers are literally taken out with no-hitters going (and not only in post-season either). Also, Koufax’s arthritis that ended his career was referred to as “traumatic arthritis” and while it was certainly set up and aggravated by the number of innings he was pitching, the actual trigger was a dive back into second base while running the bases to avoid a pick-off throw in 1964.

Remember watching this World Series and even collected World Series programs as a kid. The second W.S. I ever watched. Rooted for the Dodgers but living in Chicago and being a Sox fan I was able to see so many great players. Killebrew was a HR monster. Oliva was an awesome player. This was a great time to be a baseball fan. I took so many pictures of ball players and they would gladly sign autographs for us kids. Today it's all about money sadly. What a beautiful game baseball is and will always be the best game of all sports. Al Kaline you will be missed.

classic baseball played by classy players, the '68 season was the last real pennant race, Mayo Smith playing Mickey Stanley @ SS, lolich winning 3 games, beating Gibson in the 7th game. Northrup, Horton, norm cash,freehan, curt flood, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda , so many competitive players

[@peace-yv4qd]

This is a real treat to see these games in color and a quality picture. I recall seeing this series in Souther Cal and in black and white. The picture quality wasn't that great because we depended on an antenna. If there was any thing like a tree or other obstruction it cause picture problems. The 7th game Koufax didn't have his curve ball working she he had to depend on his fast ball and change up. Maybe he had a slider, not sure. Great series.

Dear Sports History Channel, What a wonderful year 1965 was. I saw Sandy Koufax pitch the Dodgers to victory at beautiful Dodger Stadium over the Houston Astros. Seeing Sandy Koufax pitch, in person, was surreal! It was practically a religious experience! He was so charismatic! What dynamism! He really looked like a Motion Picture Star! Sandy Koufax was such an intense competitor! He was so modest and such a gentleman! I was so fortunate and honored to have seen him in person!!!

[@DrJohnnyJ]

I saw his perfect game against the Cubs. The Cub's pitcher gave up one hit, one walk and one error to lose 1-0. It was the most boring night I had suffered in my 11 years but a great feat.

[@yuckyool]

Well, if you were a Jew, and watched him sit out the 1st Game for his/our observance of Yom Kippur, it kind of was a religious experience. One of the reasons, I love baseball and all sports -- it's about what someone does on the field, not one's ethnic, religious or national origin.

(this was after the Detroit Tigers President traded away all its 'singles hitters' and brought in home run hitters to take their place. the Tigers then led the majors in Strike Outs for years, finished last 2 times, threatened the NEW YORK METS record of 120 losses in a season, and got Anderson fired!)

I have the World Series program, a vinyl record for the Twins 65 season and autographs of many of these Twins and Dodgers. Still have some of my 64, 65 Topps cards. A great time to be a baseball fan.

Great baseball.

What's with all the boater hats in the stands in Minnesota? World Series give away I suppose.

Well, it is the land of 10,000 lakes.

Awesome baseball.

4:20 Prices haven't changed in 50 years; each cup of Coca-Cola that she was buying cost her $8.50.

[@chuckruth19]

I think it was 25 cents.

Box seats at Metropolitan Stadium cost $3 during the regular season.

Amazing Koufax was able to throw a complete game shut out in game 7 on two days rest (and he has arthritis in his throwing elbow). He probably would have started game 1 (which would have given him 3 days rest for a game 7) , but game 1 falls during the observance of Yon Kipper (which he chooses to honor) . Claude Osteen wins a crucial third game for the Dodgers. If he would have lost , the Dodgers would have been down 3-0 .
