SP: Sandy Koufax
Dodgers: 1959, '63, '65-'66



In the two World Series in which he wasn't named MVP, Koufax allowed two earned runs in 15 innings of work. And then there were the 1963 and 1965 Fall Classics, in which he dominated Yankees and Twins sluggers to the point at which it almost wasn't fair. Koufax went 4-1 in those years, allowing just four earned runs in 42 innings. He finished his career with a 4-3 record and a 0.95 ERA in World Series play and is one of only three players (Bob Gibson, Reggie Jackson) to have been named MVP of two World Series.
