October 15, 1965 headline in Los Angeles Times: Sandy's The Greatest — Dodgers Win It! Alston Leans to Left and Koufax Proves He's Right, 2-0 |

Sandy Koufax shut down the Minnesota Twins in the seventh and deciding game of the 1965 World Series, 2-0, giving the Dodgers their fourth World Championship. Pitching on two days' rest, Koufax relied on his fastball, as his curveball was non-existent, but he still struck out 10 and gave up only three hits. In 61 World Series prior to 1965, only three teams were able to bounce back and win after dropping the first two contests, as the Dodgers had done. For Manager Walter Alston, he notched his fourth World Series Championship in 11 seasons. |
