50 Years Since Sandy Koufax Pitched a Perfect Game

It was a Thursday then and a Wednesday now but how can it be that 50 years have gone by since Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game vs the Chicago Cubs on September 9, 1965?!!

This was one of the greatest pitched games by both hurlers, Sandy and the Cubs’ Bob Hendley.

The lone run of the game was scored by the Dodgers without a hit. Hendley allowed but one hit in the game, that to Lou Johnson.

So many years later, I recall hearing the news of the game on Friday morning September 10th from Dick Reeves on WCBS radio.

Koufax capped his most incredible season 5 Thursdays later by winning (2-0) in game seven of the World Series at Minnesota vs the Twins.
