On September 10, 1965, Sandy Koufax pitched a perfect game.
One month later he declined to pitch Game 1 of the 1965 World Series as it fell on Yom Kippur, the solemn Jewish religious holiday.
Koufax returned to win the series for the Dodgers, received the Most Valuable Player Award, and was named Sportsman of the Year.
