I got to go to game 4 at Dodger Stadium, Koufax vs. Whitey Ford. We sat up in the 3rd deck behind home plate. I saw Mantle hit a homerun half way up the left field pavilion and Frank Howard become the first player to hit a homerun into the second deck at Dodger Stadium. My Dodgers swept the Yankees by only using 4 pitchers. Koufax had 2 complete game wins, Don Drysdale got a complete game win and Johnny Podres pitched won game 2 with 8-2/3 innings and Ed Roebuck pitched 1-1/3 inning. I still have to ticket stub and the program.
How exciting and a keepsake. Pass that along and keep it for old times sake. As I pan the stadium and a sea of white shirts men & women dressed for Sunday in their clothes, that’s how it was then and now no comment. Dressing down as far as we have come also speaks to character.
Keep that ticket! 🎟️ I never went to a world series game but Ill always remember going to the ballpark, and that's going to Fenway Park for me. Those were the days back in the 60's, it would of been cool to see all those legends in the world series. Must of been a Great time to be a baseball fan
I was lucky. I was also able to go to the 4th game of the 1965 World Series game against the Twins at Dodger Stadium, games 1 & 2 against the Oakland A's in 1974 and, it was either the 4th or 5th game, at Dodger Stadium in, I think, 1978 against the Yankees. It was the game where Goose Gossage nailed Ron Cey in the head with a 95 mph fast ball. I still have all the ticket stubs and programs for all those games plus a few playoff games. I still have the program for the 1959 All-Star Game at the LA Coliseum.
During a torrid 1963 pennant race the Dodgers were hard pressed by an outstanding St. Louis Cardinals club and went into St. Louis for an important 3 game set vs. the Cards who had just won 19 of 20 games to threaten to close onto the Dodgers. Beginning on September 16th the Dodgers behind the pitching of Johnny Podres and Sandy Koufax took the first two games in steamy humid St. Louis. On September 18th. the Dodgers took on Cardinals Ace and HOF pitcher Bob Gibson. While trailing the Cards 5 to 1, rookie Dick Nen who'd just flew in from minor league Spokane that very day, hit an eighth inning pinch hit homerun to tie the game off relief pitcher Ron Taylor. 4 innings later the Dodgers won to all but seal the pennant. Those Cardinals were an outstanding team and would prove it the next year by winning the World Series against another outstanding Yankees team. But 1963 was all about a great Dodger team for the ages.
What's satisfying of that 63 World Series for the Dodgers, not only that we swept the Yankees, but the Dodgers never once trailed in either game to the Yankees, great justice for the past World Series battles. As LA, the Dodgers are 12-10 vs the Yankees in the World Series games.
And yet, the trio of Koufax, Drysdale, and Osteen would itself get swept against the Orioles three years later. Even with great pitching, you gotta have at least *some* offense -- and the Dodgers would have virtually none in the '66 series.
@@ronmackinnon9374Had a stretch in that series where they went 33 straight innings of not scoring a run, so the reason for the loss is the offense, not the pitching.
I stayed home from school for Game 1 and watched Koufax strike out the 15 Yankees. One of the best decisions - with the help of my parents - I ever made. Koufax won 25 games during the regular season and lost only five. Yankee catcher Yogi Berra later said that he could understand why Koufax won 25 games but couldn't understand how he could've lost five.
This is the 1st time when the 2 Largest U.S. Cities LA & NY were competing for a major professional sports championship. The last time this has happened was in the NHL 2014 Stanley Cup Finals with LA winning the series 4-1.
Except for one problem. In 1963, Los Angeles was the 3rd largest city in the USA. Chicago was 2nd behind New York. The first time the #1 and #2 cities squared off for a championship was in 1917 - when the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Giants in the World Series.
Surprised they didn't mention (after 3:00) that Musial had just completed his final 'farewell' season in '63. (He missed by one year the '64 Cardinals championship.)
13:15 The heat Koufax put on that thing and it was his 130th pitch of the game. Dude was just insane that year. When I looked up his game stats he had at least four 3 hitters that year and two back back if I remember right.
Richardson is safe on 2nd but called out 35:54, But Tracewski dropped the ball. Dodgers defeating the Yanks in 3 games and there's only 2,000 views? Great series.
Damn it... I was hoping in that game four the 9th inning they would include Sandy Koufax jumping for joy prematurely thinking he had thrown a third strike to Lopez. I remember distinctly Sandy doing that and saying to myself, "Get back there. You didn't win". I was only nine years old living in Oxnard California but rooting for the Yankees and my hero Mickey Mantle. It was quite a moment seeing Koufax having to walk back to the mound with a look of astonishment and his tail between his legs knowing it wasn't over yet. It was the next pitch to Lopez unfortunately that ended the game making champs of the Dodgers but also made me cry.
The reason Koufax got excited was Tracewski dropped the ball on a force play the umpire called Richardson out, and then changed the call to safe when he realized the ball was dropped
My very first Major League Baseball game in person was at the LA Coliseum when the Dodgers played the Cincinnati Reds. June 1960. Sandy Koufax started the game but only lasted two innings. He gave up a grand slam in the first inning and was pulled in the second inning for some reason. I remember this series well. Dodger pitching was phenomenal in those days.
As this and a few other videos on RUclips successfully illustrate, Major League Baseball in the 1960's was the Golden Age of Baseball. And that's for many reasons. I specialize in the aesthetics of the 60s era, so I'll cover that here: Every team played in great ballparks, whether they were in older, classic ballparks (Phillies' Shibe Park, Reds' Crosley Field, Pirates' Forbes Field, Tigers' namesake Stadium, White Sox' Comiskey Park, Yankee's original namesake Stadium, etc) or in more modern parks (Dodgers' namesake Stadium, Giants' Candlestick Park, Astros' namesake Dome, Angels' Anaheim Stadium, A's Oakland Coliseum, Twins' Metropolitan Stadium, Orioles' Memorial Stadium, etc), they were all great, with the exception of the Cardinals and Senators, who I think were aesthetically better in Busch Stadium I (Sportsmans Park) and Griffith Park, respectively. The dugouts and clubhouses were designed and built to serve the very purpose of a simple area for the players to be in, not virtual apartments like today. The overall look of green seats and steel, simple grandstand construction, and on special occasions, red white and blue bunting, made for a timeless atmosphere that anyone can appreciate. The players also dressed very well. As a comment on a Uni Watch post says, the jersey and pants are trim but not tight. Button down jerseys with short sleeves and true vests reign supreme. The stirrup socks were at the most ideal proportion of stirrup to sanitary sock, allowing for plenty of white (Or yellow in the A's case) while still giving enough space for colorful and creative stripes. It was pre-double knit so every jersey was soft flannel but you still had an injection of powder blue roads. The cap is not quite the exaggerated high peak but isn’t formless either, with green underbrims for reduced glare (The grass is green too) and leather sweatbands with white reeding. No matter what style a team happened to wear, it was almost guaranteed to look like baseball. Teams with classic designs (Yankees, Cubs, Dodgers, Red Sox, Cardinals, etc) and those who experimented with their looks (A's, Pilots, White Sox, Expos, Padres, etc) all looked very elegant, particularly because button-front jerseys and belted pants were still in vogue, giving off a classic, formal vibe, going with the notion of baseball being a gentleman's game. The umpires also looked their best, many times being outfitted in dark navy suits, caps, and black ties and dress shoes, with either white shirts, adding to the aforementioned formal and official vibe. The players not only dressed well, but the equipment they used, consisting of Hillerich and Bradsby made Louisville Slugger or Adirondack natural-colored ash wood bats; Rawlings, Wilson, or Spalding tan leather fielding gloves and mitts; the aforementioned black (Or white in the A's case) leather spikes; simple-construction batting helmets with one earflap, which just seems to scream baseball to me; and catcher's equipment with simple patterns on the chest protector, shin guards (Both of which preferably in team colors), and the steel bars of the mask, were also simple compared to today, but elegant. And that's just the aesthetics of that era-not to mention the caliber of players during that time. But I'll let others cover that. I hope my Heaven is 1960's MLB when my time comes.
Well said lad, I agree with your eloquent paragraphs. I'm 73, but still watch these films-and old hockey of Booby Hull and the Black Hawks-of the days that when player respect was tantamount. Mr Hockey, Gordie Howe in person was known and expected good manners.
Great discussion. I could not agree more, especially the aesthetics. The uniforms were classy and the stirrups and caps perfectly proportioned. Busch Stadium I was beautiful. Drysdale, Koufax, Mays, Aaron,Mccovey, Brock, Marichal, Billy Williams, Ford, Mantle, Kaline, Earl Battey, Gibson, Vada Pinson, Clemente. Just to name a few.
Three years later, the Dodgers got a taste of their own medicine when they were swept by the Baltimore Orioles, skipped by former Yankee Hank Bauer. The Dodgers managed only 17 hits in the entire series, and failed to score a single run in the final 33 innings of the series, setting unrecords which stand to this day.
The Cardinals came up a little short this year in the last season of Stan Musial. The Cards would win the pennant in 1964 and the Dodgers again in 1965, but the Cards would win the pennant again in 1967 and 1968. Growing up in St. Louis my favorite games were when the Cards played the Dodgers snd Giants. The Giants won the pennant in 1962. The Dodger pitching and the hitting of the Giants made tough competition. Sandy Koufax, Juan Marichal, and Bob Gibson were the aces. I remember being in grade school being able to watch some of this series from our classroom. Cards fan
Forgot to mention the Dodgers also won the 1965 pennant as well. THe Giants often came in second place in the 1960s. Just not quire enough pitcing for them.
The beginning of the end of the 1947-1962 Dynasty. losses in the series to LA in 63 and StL in 64 were followed by the worst team in the AL in 1966 and no championships until 1977.
Nah. He was a loyal dodger. You do realize the Dodgers hated the Yankees right? The Mets are literally the Brooklyn Dodgers of today. They do great and end up losing in the end. Thats what the Dodgers did when they were in Brooklyn. Then they went to LA and Started winning alot more championships. They are pretty much the Yankees of the West coast and National League.
@@ejswrestlingjourney9857 Dodgers as LA, are 12-10 vs the Yankees in the World Series, here they gave them their first ever sweep, and never once had the Yankees lead in either game, and currently the Dodgers have won the last World Series meeting in 81.
35:39 Bobby Richardson beats Maury Wills' throw to second base to end the game, but the ump calls him out. After the ball is dropped, the ump reverses his call to "safe," but he should have called Richardson safe in the first place because he beat the throw. You can see Richardson on first base get an excellent jump to 2nd, as he was immediately moving on contact. Great base running.
I've always wondered why game one is not available in its entirety. Several World Series games are available which predate this classic encounter, showing Koufax at the peak of his powers. Did the Yankee organization have something to do with suppressing it, because they were swept in embarrassing fashion?
Joe D and Stan Musial representing the AL and NL on the ceremonial opening pitch, but Stan has no association with the Dodgers. With all due respect to the great Stan the Man, can think of a half dozen retired Dodger players - Pee Wee Reese, Jackie Robinson, Carl Furillo, etc - who would have been better NL/Dodger reps to join Joe D in this ceremony. Seems an easy fix not to have done it.
