Sandy Koufax's triumvirate of 300 strikeout game tickets
I was able to bag one last great pickup for 2011 under the wire, completing a spectacular year.
One of the things that I collect is the 300 K tickets of the ML pitchers that managed to reach this lofty plateau in a singular season.
BTW, the standard bearers for this category are Nolan Ryan and Randy Johnson, which both reached this plateau 6 times in their great careers.
Dodger great Sandy Koufax is the only other player in MLB history to accomplish this pitching feat of excellence 3 times- 1963, 1965, and 1966. I just picked up this trio of 300 K tickets to Sandy's hat trick which helped me fill some big holes in my personal collection. The ticket stubs from 1963 and 1966 are especially tough to find.
Happy New Year to everyone on net54!
