The story on this card
This card recaps the 1963 World Series, in which the Los Angeles Dodgers swept the two-time defending champion New York Yankees in four straight games. Dodgers pitching, led by Sandy Koufax, Don Drysdale, Johnny Podres and reliever Ron Perranoski, held New York to just four runs, and the Yankees never led at any point in the series. Koufax struck out 15 in Game 1, then closed out Game 4 with a 2-1 win, finishing 2-0 with a 1.50 ERA and 23 strikeouts to earn Series MVP honors. Drysdale threw a three-hitter in Game 3. It was the Dodgers' third World Series title and the first time the Yankees were ever swept in four straight games. Card #140, from Topps' 1964 World Series subset in the set's second series, recaps the Dodgers' celebration.
