"Either he throws the fastest ball I've ever seen, or I'm going blind,” said Hall of Famer Richie Ashburn. Koufax finally gained control of his overpowering fastball and knee-buckling curveball in the early 1960s, and embarked on one of the most dominant pitching runs in baseball history. From 1962 to 1966, he recorded 111 wins against only 34 losses, led the National League in ERA five times, set a single-season record with 382 strikeouts, and won three Cy Young Awards and one Most Valuable Player trophy. He dazzled in the national spotlight when he set a World Series single-game record with 15 strikeouts in 1963, and again when he threw a perfect game to wrap up a record fourth no-hitter in 1965. The featured collectible is a recently graded example and hails as a true 1/1 MINT 9 with no examples having been graded at a higher level!
