SOLD RARE Koufax vs Mantle - 1st ever meeting in NY program!!!!

[Shoeless Moe]

This is pretty cool!

And thanks to Doug G for finding some newspaper articles on it for me.

On June 27th 1960 the Los Angeles Dodgers (formerly Brooklyn) came home one last time & into Yankee Stadium for the first time since leaving NY to play an Exhibition Game vs the Yankees. Over 53,000 fans in attendance! In one of the articles it said "the crowd was 70% Brooklyn fans."

Koufax was yet to hit his stride, so to speak, but would face both Mantle & Maris in the 6th inning. Their first EVER meeting in NY. The fans had to be going nuts. Koufax K'd them both! Back to back.

Neither team treated this as an ordinary exhibition game, as 4 Dodgers players were thrown out at home! Maris cranked out a home run. The majority of the crowd were Brooklynites, rooting on their Bums to 4-3 victory.

There also was a rumored seven-player trade between the Yankees and Dodgers. According to the rumor, Don Drysdale, Gil Hodges and Duke Snider would go to the Yankees for Tony Kubek, Elston Howard, Ryne Duren and Johnny James. it never happened, but imagine what if.

Scorecard in decent condition for being 61 years old, scorecard page is a little loose, but fully scored.

Quite a piece of history, and you could pair with their autographs and/or photos for an amazing display!
