Kou Shows Off Form in Vero. L.A. Dodgers' pitching ace Sandy Koufax shows movie cameramen how it's done during spring training in Vero Beach, Florida. That summer would prove to be among Koufax's best and the Dodgers won the World Series, sweeping the New York Yankees in four games. Koufax, who'd struck out more than 300 batters during the regular season, won two games of the Fall Classic.
