From the back cover
Take out the brooms! The Los Angeles Dodgers used pitching, speed, and defense to sweep the Yankees. Sandy Koufax emerged victorious in Games 1 and 3 striking out 15 in the Series opener, and eight in the Series finale. Johnny Padres and Don Drysdale, who pitched a three-hitter in Game 3, were also superb in their two victories against a New York lineup that included Mantle, Maris, and Pepitone. Game 4 of the Series was a classic confrontation between two all-time pitching greats, Whitney Ford and Sandy Koufax. After Frank Howard and Mickey Mantle each hit one-run-blasts for their respective clubs, the score remained tied 1-1 heading into the bottom of the 7th when the Dodgers Willie Davis knocked home the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly. That's all Koufax needed. This home video shows a 27-year-old Koufax, in the prime of his career, firing blazing fastball after blazing fastball, and a great Dodger pitching staff at its awesome best.
