JOE SEWELL 1923

he 'only' hit .353 w/ a .456 OBP...and have no idea how what his Def will be--

Sandy Koufax 1964.

By far his best Strat CARD. Great whip and ERA but not ruined by excessive ballpark homeruns, unlike the two cards that we have now. Much better than the 1966 card which may be seen in the superstar sixties player set. I know this because I have all the 1964 season cards.

If Strat hadn't gone overboard on the ballpark homerun thing, we wouldn't need this 1964 card. But because they did go overboard, we desperately need a Sandy Koufax card that represents just how good he really was. Easily the best pitcher I ever saw for his 4-year peak. only Maddux and Pedro come close to being as dominant as Koufax was.
