The conclusion of the Sandy Koufax Era 1964-1966 was a wild roller
coaster ride for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Overly dependent on the
fragile left arm of their brilliant Hall of Fame left-hander, they
careened from their worst season since WWII in 1964 after losing
him to injury in mid-August, to a World Series Championship in 1965
on the strength of his heroic shutout performance on short rest in
Game 7 of the World Series with the Twins, to an ignominious World
Series collapse to the Orioles in 1966 after he single-handedly
saved the season for them on the last day of the regular season.
After putting together one of the most prolific final 2-year runs
in baseball history in which he averaged 27 complete games, 27
wins, and 350 strikeouts-and sixteen days after winning his second
straight unanimous Cy Young Award- Koufax shocked the Dodgers and
Major League Baseball by announcing his retirement. Like a
brilliant supernova that had lit up the sports world for six years
he flamed out and was gone at the age of thirty.
