At the time I fell in love with the game, there were 3 kings of baseball, Koufax (65 & 66 Cy Young), Mays (65 MVP) and Clemente (65 Batting Champ & 66 MVP).
Growing up in Southern California, this was the card to have. In 1965 Koufax pitched a perfect game (his 4th consecutive season with a no hitter), won the pitching triple crown, was unanimous Cy Young winner and finished 2nd in MVP to Mays. However, it was the World Series when he was at his best. With the Dodgers down 3-2 to the Twins, Koufax pitched shutouts in Game 5 and 7 to win the Dodgers their 3rd World Championship in the first 8 years in L.A. In the 80s when Sandy was signing autographs at a card show, I brought my childhood card to get his autograph.
