Sandy Koufax a legendary pitcher threw a perfect game for the Los Angeles dodgers against the Chicago Cubs, On September 9, 1965. It was an amazing display of his pitching techniques and it made Koufax turn into one of the greatest pitcher of all time. This single event had such a vast impact on baseball history.
Yesss!!! I remember watching its highlight with my dad when I was 24. Koufax was untouchable at that time.
Oh yess its crazy to think that he retired just a few years after that game. He was at the top of his game.
I think what’s really amazing about this game was that Koufax was pitching with a lot of pressure. The Dodgers were in the middle of a tight pennant race and every game mattered to them.
And the fact that he was able to stay focused and execute his pitches so perfectly is a proof to his mental toughness.
