Koufax played his entire Major League Baseball career for the
Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1955 to 1966. He retired at the peak
of his career, and in 1972 became the youngest player ever elected to
the Baseball Hall of Fame, aged 36 years and 20 days. Koufax's career
peaked with a run of six outstanding seasons from 1961 to 1966, before
arthritis in his left elbow ended his career prematurely at age 30. He
was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1963. He also
won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 Cy Young Awards by unanimous votes, making
him the first 3-time Cy Young winner in baseball history and the only
one to win 3 times when the award was for all of baseball, not just one
league. In each of his Cy Young seasons, Koufax won the pitcher's triple
crown by leading the NL in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average.
Koufax's totals would also have led the American League in those
seasons.
This nicely framed 21.5" x 24.5" piece includes a photo of Koufax as well as an autographed index card that has been authenticated and slabbed by PSA/DNA.
