Sandy Koufax’s 1964 Game-Worn Jersey: A Legendary Piece of Baseball History

An Iconic Era in Baseball

Sandy Koufax, a name synonymous with pitching excellence, became the first-ever three-time Cy Young Award winner during a period when Major League Baseball awarded only one such honor across both leagues. His dominance from 1961 to 1966, including winning the National League Triple Crown, solidified his status as a baseball legend. Koufax was inducted into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot in 1972 and was the first major league pitcher to throw four no-hitters. His illustrious career includes four World Series championships, and his number 32 is retired by the Dodgers franchise.

The 1964 Season: A Year of Excellence

In the 1964 season, Koufax started 28 games, achieving a remarkable 19-5 record. On June 4th, he threw his third career no-hitter in a 3-0 victory over the Phillies. This jersey, a relic from that iconic season, is a testament to his prowess on the mound. The jersey features the traditional “Dodgers” script across the chest in blue felt, with the player number “32” in red felt below. The back also displays “32” in blue felt, all original to the garment and affixed with a straight in-line stitch.

Authenticity and Provenance

The jersey is in pristine, all-original condition, signed by Koufax himself, with the signature rating a 7 overall. Originally offered in a Richard Wolffers sale in the early 1990s, it was accompanied by documentation from Koufax, which has since been lost. However, the jersey’s provenance is unquestionable, having been sourced directly from Koufax. The jersey was presented to us as game-used and, in our opinion, shows appropriate use. It is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity (LOA) from PM&G grading the jersey an 8, a Full JSA LOA, and numerous examples verifying its validity.
