The amazing Sandy Koufax is undoubtedly one of the best pitchers in baseball history. Displayed is an authentic Sandy Koufax Los Angeles Dodgers Mitchell & Ness gray away jersey that the Hall of Fame left-hander has signed and inscribed. Inscribed, "4 No Hitters 62, '63, '64, '65." Known as 'the Left Arm of God," Koufax had such a strong arm that the legendary Branch Rickey said, "This is the greatest arm I've ever seen." Koufax pitched 12 Major League seasons (1954-65), all with the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers. Koufax has a 165-87 career record, with a 2.76 ERA and 2,396 strikeouts. He was the first 3-time Cy Young Award winner, each time a unanimous selection, and a 3-time winner of the NL Pitching Triple Crown. He was a part of two Dodger World Championship teams, and one of his four no-hitters was a perfect game on Sept. 9, 1965, a 1-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs and the first time in the modern era that a left-hander had thrown a perfect game. Koufax is one of the very best Jewish athletes in professional sports history, and when he chose to forego pitching in Game 1 of the 1965 World Series because the contest was on Yom Kippur, a high holy day in his faith, he became even more renowned.

The offered jersey has a Mitchell & Ness manufacturer's tag in the collar, with an adjacent size "48" tag. Across the chest is "Los Angeles" in blue, sewn-on script. Below the team name is "32" in red sewn-on numerals. Five gray buttons run down the front. On the left front outer tail is a Mitchell & Ness Cooperstown Collection manufacturer's tag with an Online Authentic hologram and an Online Authentics sticker: OA-8185259. Three cardstock tags are attached to the collar: Cooperstown Collection with an MLB hologram: DB308219820; A Mitchell & Ness tag, with a Mitchell & Ness hologram: MN00327262; a Mitchell & Ness price tag, showing a listed price of $250.00 and size C48. On the lower left outside tail is a hand printed "3/32" in fine-tip blue marker, signifying the item is limited edition 3-out-of-32. Beneath the limited edition marking is "1963" embroidered in red. On the red outside lower tail is "Sandy Koufax" embroidered in red script. On the inside of the back tail is a tag showing the jersey to be "100% wool." On back is "32" in blue sewn-on numerals. Below the team name on the front, Koufax has signed and inscribed, "4 No Hitters 62, '63, '64, '65," both meticulously in fine tip blue marker. The Koufax signature is a beautiful 9/10 autograph. The jersey is in EXCELLENT condition.
