Inscribed on plinth, top: SANDY KOUFAX. BROOKLYN & LOS ANGELES DODGERS. Among the most dominating pitchers in the game's history, left-hander Sandy Koufax won 165 games and compiled 2,396 strikeouts in 2,324.1 innings with 40 shutouts in his 12 year Dodger career (1955-1966). In 1966, Koufax earned his third Cy Young Award, becoming the first three-time winner in an era when the honor was given to just one MLB pitcher per season. Koufax led the National League in ERA five straight seasons from 1962-66, was the strikeouts leader four times and was tops in wins on three occasions with totals of 27, 26 and 25. In addition he pitched a National League record four no hitters, including a perfect game in 1965, and set the National League single season mark with 382 strikeouts in 1965. He is one of the very few pitchers to have more strikeouts than career innings pitched.
