Aug. 27, 1955 Sandy Koufax First Career Win Ticket Stub (CG Shutout w/ 14 K's at Ebbets Field)

The bearer of this ticket stub witnessed history in the making – though he or she had no idea they did so. To the person who witnessed this August 27, 1955 game, it was merely a 7-0 Dodgers home win over the Cincinnati Reds. In the excitement of seeing Jackie Robinson and Carl Furillo belt home runs that Saturday afternoon, the bearer probably didn’t notice the rookie southpaw that went the distance for the Dodgers, Mr. Sandy Koufax. If this person did take notice of Koufax, it was due to the 14 strikeouts the rookie racked up that afternoon. This game was Koufax’s 7th appearance that year, and it was the first win of his eventual 165-win Hall of Fame career.
