Sandy Koufax Autographed Baseball & Sports Card
Current bid: US $67.00

This week's Sports Collectors Digest has a story "Koufax signs a deal with Steiner. As befits one of the genuine recluses in the upper echelon of professional sports, the Koufax material starts in the stratosphere of hobby signers. The price list includes single-signed balls at $750". And that ball would most certainly be a new Official Major League baseball. The ball that you are bidding on is a Official Ball National League, you know the kind they don't make anymore. Sandy has signed this ball in blue ink. The card is a 1986 Sports Design production #17 signed in a felt tipped fine blue pen, you know the color: Dodger Blue. I did not purchase these from anyone, I handed the ball and card to Sandy myself and stood there in front of him and watched him sign them at a Card Show in New York City in June of 1989. I have attached a picture I took of Sandy at this autograph show. Both autographs are both absolutely guaranteed to be 100% real, nobody told me he sign them, I watch him sign them both. I will also include a Certificate of Authenticity with a Raised Seal signed by a Notary Public that witnessed the signing.

Sandy Koufax Autographed Baseball & Sports Card
Sanford Koufax an American left-handed former pitcher in Major League Baseball who played his entire career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers, from 1955 to 1966.
Koufax's career peaked with a run of six outstanding seasons from 1961 to 1966, before arthritis ended his career at age 30. He was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1963, and won the 1963, 1965, and 1966 Cy Young Awards by unanimous votes; in all three seasons, he won the pitcher's triple crown by leading the league (indeed, both major leagues) in wins, strikeouts, and earned run average. A notoriously difficult pitcher for batters to face, he was the first major leaguer to pitch more than three no-hitters (including the first perfect game by a left-hander since 1880), to average fewer than seven hits allowed per nine innings pitched in his career (6.79; batters hit .205 against him), and to strike out more than nine batters (9.28) per nine innings pitched in his career. He also became the 2nd pitcher in baseball history to have two games with 18 or more strikeouts, and the first to have eight games with 15 or more strikeouts.
Among NL pitchers with at least 2,000 innings pitched who have debuted since 1913, he has the highest career winning percentage (.655) and had the lowest career ERA (2.76) until surpassed by Tom Seaver, whose NL career mark is 2.73.His 2,396 career strikeouts ranked 7th in major league history upon his retirement, and trailed only Warren Spahn's total of 2,583 among left-handers. Retiring at the peak of his career, he became, at age 36 and 20 days, the youngest player ever elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Koufax is also notable as one of the outstanding Jewish athletes of his era in American professional sports. His decision not to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because game day fell on Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, garnered national attention as an example of conflict between social pressures and personal beliefs.
