% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.
In 1965, Sandy Koufax and Willie Mays had superb seasons. It showed on the MVP balloting:
Willie Mays, with 52 home runs and 112 RBI, is named National League Most Valuable Player. Mays receives 224 votes to 177 for Sandy Koufax, who had a 2.04 ERA, won 26 games, allowed just 5.79 hits per game, and struck out 382.
The MVP should go to every day players, like Mays. Nevertheless, it’s easy to say that Koufax was indispensable that year for the LA Dodgers that beat the Twins in the Series.
