1961 Game-used Dodgers Home flannel (all-original) signed on the tail by Sandy Koufax
1961, with Koufax winning 18 games and leading the National League with 269 strikeouts, marked the beginning of a 6 year period when Sandy Koufax became baseball's best pitcher, winning 3 Cy Young awards and an MVP award, and twice being voted World Series MVP.
Early 1960's Batting Helmet
1965 Game-Used Glove
This XPG-6 Rawlings glove features a special prototype x-laced web that was never offered on a retail model XPG-6 glove. An additional feature of this glove is that although this was a Mickey Mantle signature model glove, the "Mickey Mantle" stamped signature was never applied to the palm of the glove, a practice sometimes followed by Rawlings on gloves made for professional players who want to use some other player's model glove. Below are 4 photos from 1965 showing Koufax with the glove, a couple of which show that the glove is not yet marked with the #32 on the Rawlings patch.
