In Their Own Story
The air inside Yankee Stadium was thick with anticipation as the seventh-inning stretch approached in Game 3. Sandy Koufax stood on the mound, his white jersey stark against the gray of the stadium lights, eyes locked on the batter. A hush fell over the crowd; everyone knew this game would likely decide the series. With a sharp snap of his wrist, the curveball dipped sharply past the bat, and the final out was recorded. The Dodgers had done it again, sweeping their arch-rivals in a display of pure baseball perfection.
