The first painting depicts Koufax before throwing the last pitch of his no-hitter against the Phillies in 1964. Pinch-hitter Bobby Wine would strike out on four pitches to end the game. Also in the frame is Dodger Willie Davis in center field, who only handled one fly ball the entire evening.
The second image is the moment after Koufax struck out Bob Allison to end the seventh game of the 1965 World Series, with the Dodgers overcoming the Jim Kaat and the mighty Twins for the title. The scoreboard in right thanks the Twins faithful for being the "greatest fans in the world", as the boys in Dodger blue file into the dugout and clubhouse without the fanfare we've all become accustomed to.
