This is probably my favourite baseball moment of all time (except for watching my children play). It is the first game of the 1963 World Series, played astonishingly 50 years ago today. But it is the game in which Sandy Koufax struck out the first five Yankees he faced and in which he eventually struck out 15 of the 27 outs over the whole of the game to set the record. I can still remember watching it on the set. There really never has been a pitcher quite like Koufax.
