60 Years Since Sandy Koufax Pitched a Perfect Game

“2 and 2 to Harvey Kuenn”

Somehow 60 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 weeks later by winning (2-0) in game 7 vs the Minnesota Twins.

Sandy had not gained a victory in 5 previous starts.

Danny Kaye attended the game with a beautiful woman, not quite sure of what was transpiring, in historic fashion on the field below.
