Chad- Great Post! Like your dad, Sandy was/is my favorite player, but it wasn't always so. Like Commish Bob, I was a Yankees fan (this was before the Braves moved close) and more specifically, a Mantle fan.
All that changed on October 2, 1963 - which was the first game I can remember seeing on TV and certainly the first World Series game I ever saw.
Here are a few of my Koufax items connected to that game:
