Game 3 of the 1965 World Series at Dodger Stadium. The Dodgers are down 2 games to none to the powerful Twins. Their vaunted 1-2 punch of Don Drysdale and Sandy Koufax had lost the first two games by scores of 8-2 and 5-1. Koufax had refused to pitch game one because it fell on Yom Kippur. The flight back to L.A. was tense. Claude Osteen, the Dodgers # 3 starter, was sitting with his wife. All during the flight, his teammates would come up to him and say, “ you’ll get em“. By the time the flight landed in LA, Osteen was a nervous wreck.
