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.

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 Жыл бұрын
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 Жыл бұрын
@@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.

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.

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 .

The Highlights Were First Shown On Television On April 8th, 1966 In Syndication Order. Unfortunately It Is A Bit Repetitive To Fit Their Schedule At They Reran The Highlights Twice. Once In September, And Again In Early October To Fit The Schedule.

Great film, but does anyone know why they hardly included anything from Games 2 and 4? Wish I could have seen more of those games.

Yes. He'd eventually become the Twins' manager, followed of course by his tumultuous times with the Yankees.
