This original newspaper sports section contains a prominent front page headline, photo, and news that Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher SANDY KOUFAX has announced his retirement from Major League baseball (at age 30) due to a severely arthritic left elbow. Less than six weeks after the 1966 World Series, on Friday, November 18, Koufax announced his retirement due to an arthritic elbow (he was just 30 years old when he retired).Sanford Koufax (December 30, 1935) is an American former left-handed pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB) who played his entire career for the Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers from 1955 to 1966. He has been hailed as one of the greatest pitchers in baseball history. In Koufax ended up with a third pitcher's Triple Crown, pitching 323 innings, posting a 27–9 record, and recording a 1.73 ERA. Since then, no left-hander has had more wins, nor a lower ERA; only Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton matched the 27-win mark, in 1972. In the final game of the regular season, the Dodgers had to beat the Phillies to win the pennant. In the second game of a doubleheader, Koufax faced Jim Bunning for the second time that season, in a match-up between perfect game winners. On two days rest, Koufax pitched a 6-3 complete-game victory to clinch the pennant. He started 41 games (for the second year in a row); only two left-handers have started more games in any season over the ensuing years through 2021.The 1966 Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series, and Game 2 marked Koufax's third start in eight days. He pitched well enough—Baltimore first baseman Boog Powell told Koufax's biographer, Jane Leavy, "He might have been hurtin' but he was bringin'"—but three errors by Dodger center fielder Willie Davis in the fifth inning produced three unearned runs. Baltimore's 20-year-old future Hall of Famer Jim Palmer pitched a four-hitter, and the Orioles won 6–0. Alston lifted Koufax at the end of the sixth inning, with the idea of getting him extra rest before a potential fifth game. Instead, the Dodgers were swept in four games, not scoring a single run in the last three. In his three World Series losses, all starts, spread over three different Series, Koufax gave up a total of three earned runs; the Dodgers scored a total of one run in support in all three.Less than six weeks after the series, on Friday, November 18, Koufax announced his retirement due to an arthritic elbow.Very good condition.
