This model of the Official Joseph Cronin American League baseball has been utilized by professional baseball from 1960-1969.
The Los Angeles Dodgers returned in 1966 to defend their 1965 World Championship. Sandy Koufax highlighted the 1966 season winning his second consecutive (third overall) Cy Young Award with a league leading 1.73 ERA, 27 Wins, and 317 Strikeouts. The Dodgers won the 1966 National League pennant, but were unfortunately swept by the Baltimore Orioles in the World Series. This also marked Koufax’s final season, Don Sutton’s rookie year and Phil Regan’s Comeback Player of the Year.
