Sandy Koufax pitched four no-hitters, one of them being a perfect game. He threw no-hitters in 1962, 1963, and 1964 and threw his perfect game in 1965.
Koufax fastball was consistently in the very high 90s, probably over 100 on occation. When Nolan Ryan first came up, the question was always, "Who was faster?" Anyone that thinks Sandy Koufax "topped out at about 94" never saw him pitch. He had the best fastball in baseball, and everyone knew it.
bert blylevin threw the sweeping curve sandy koufax threw the 12-6 curve
Yes, but he was divorced and remaried. wife 1: was Anne Widmark (divorced) wife 2: Kim...dont know last name.
NO
The fastest pitch ever timed for Sandy Koufax was 93.2 miles per hour. However, considering pitchers were not accurately timed in those days, it is very probable his pitches reached 100 miles per hour at some point.
Yes, three times ... 1963, 1965, and 1966. He is tied with Walter Johnson and Grover Cleveland Alexander for the most Triple Crowns won by a pitcher in MLB history.
Yes in fact they did. On May 14 1964 Koufax pitched the first game. Sandy wasn't his sharpest giving up 4 runs, including a 3 run homer to Ron Santo, in 4 innings. The Dodgers won anyway 6-4. In the nightcap Drysdale was very sharp, pitching a 4 hit shutout winning 5-0 to complete the sweep
1 perfect game (September 9, 1965 against the Chicago Cubs) and 3 no-hitters (June 30, 1962 against the New York Mets, May 11, 1963 against the San Francisco Giants, and June 4, 1964 against the Philadelphia Phillies).
In the very high 90's and maybe over 100. Of course there were no speed guns to really tell, but just watch him in the last inning of the 1965 World Series, and you will get a taste of what it was like to face him
It is difficult to put a value on a dual signed or multi signed baseball. The value of the signatures cannot be added up to come up with a total. Multi-signed baseballs are valued as a whole, and how desired the signatures are as a group. You did not mention which baseball commissioner signed the baseball. Two commissioners were in office during Sandy Koufax's playing days Ford Frick (1951-1965) and William Eckert 1965-1968. Either way which ever commissioner signed the baseball it will only add value if the signature is desired by a collector buying a Sandy Koufax autograph. It also works the other way. A collector looking to buy the commissioner's signature, might not desire the Sandy Koufax signature and the value will be higher or lower accordingly. A Sandy Koufax single signed baseball is worth between $250.-$400. And with the added baseball commissioner's signature the value should be more or less depending on the factors mentioned above, and which commissioner signed the baseball. A Ford Frick Signed baseball might be worth somewhere between $750.-$1,000. and the value of the Dual signed baseball could be between $400. -$750. Again, If the two signatures are desired together. The Ford Frick signed baseball by Itself might be worth more. Value is based on average prices of recently closed auctions. Prices may vary based on condition, and the type of authenticity that accompanies the baseball. Signatures that have not been properly authenticated could sell at half the market value or less. In a recent auction a Sandy Koufax single signed baseball sold for $310
