THE NEW YORK TIMES, Oct. 3, 1963
* Sandy Koufax's strike-out record game
* Los Angeles Dodgers vs. New York Yankees
* World Series of baseball - game 1 at Yankee Stadium
The top of the front page has a one column heading: "STRIKE-OUT MARK IS SET BY KOUFAX; DODGERS 5, YANKS 2" with subheads and photo of Koufax. (see) Much more on pages 40 & 41with headlines, photos and stats. Great to have in this famous NYC publication, especially since they were playing at Yankee Stadium for this game.
Complete with 60 pages, minor wear at the central fold, very nice condition.
wikipedia notes: Sandy Koufax started it off with a record 15-strikeout performance in Game 1 to outduel the Yankees' ace left-hander Whitey Ford. The 15 strikeouts bested fellow Dodgers pitcher Carl Erskine's mark in 1953 by one, and would be surpassed by Bob Gibson in 1968. Koufax also tied a World Series record when he fanned the first five Yankees he faced.
