Goldin Auctions : More Dodgers Memorabilia - Koufax Glove & Pants, Greg Maddux and Puig

Following up on Tuesday's post featuring some unique Dodgers correspondence with the MLBPA about Baseball desegregation, I now bring to you a bunch of different Dodgers' memorabilia items available at Goldin Auctions.

This is a 1959-60 game-used Sandy Koufax fielders glove.

Early in the 1960 season, former Brooklyn resident and die-hard Dodger fan Don Rossano and his father attended a game at the LA Coliseum as guests of their cousin, Dodgers infielder Bobby Aspromonte. While chatting in the dugout with Sandy Koufax, the lefty learned from Don’s dad that 14 year-old Don, now sitting up in the stands, was a left-handed pitcher as well. As his father got up to rejoin his son in the stands, Koufax held out his glove and said “here, give this to your son”. Don kept the glove for over 50 years and now we are proud to be able to offer this great piece of baseball history.

If you can't find a Koufax jersey to add to your collection, then maybe his pants might be up your alley. Here is a 1964 game-used Sandy Koufax jersey pants.

Probably the best thing to happen during McCourt's reign was the signing of Greg Maddux. I'm sure he had a huge impact on many young Dodger pitchers. Featured below is a 2006 game-used jersey.
