Cool ticket! Last spring I met Byron Browne. His first game was Koufax's perfecto. We spoke at length. He described how hard it was to pick up the ball because of the haze lingering from the Watts riots. He also described the sound of the ball's seams biting the air as it approached the plate. He said he lined out to center that day and was quite proud of that. The look of awe on his face as he recalled the day was awesome. He talked about Koufax the way a jazz musician might describe Miles Davis. It was a very cool experience. Good luck with the sale. I wish I had the funds.
