On this day in 1962, Sandy Koufax of the LA Dodgers pitched the first of his 4 no-hitters. He beat the Mets and struck out 13 in a 5-0 victory.
Between 1962 and 1966, when he retired at age 32, Koufax was just overpowering. He led the LA Dodgers to World Series victories in 1963 and 1965. He pitched 4 no-hitters, including perfect game in 1965, and won 3 Cy Young Awards.
It all started with this no-hitter in 1962!
