Sandy Koufax, Pat Zachry and a Red Barber Collectible at Heritage Auctions

Enough with writing about Time Warner and their shenanigans. I'm sick of it, and I wish it wasn't pertinent to the Dodgers. But, it is.

Thankfully, I don't have to dwell on it for long because there is an upcoming auction through Heritage that has me transfixed on some fantastic Dodger memorabilia. Check out some previews below.

Above is a circa 1980's game worn jacket worn by Sandy Koufax. I wonder if this would fit me.

Below is a 1988 Dodgers World Championship ring given to former Dodger pitcher Pat Zachry. At the time, Zachry was not playing Baseball, but was an front office employee for the club.

This next item might be the coolest of all. Featured below is a 1943 Brooklyn Dodgers silver presentation box given by the club to legendary broadcaster Red Barber. Engraved on the reverse is the following:

Presented By Brooklyn National League Baseball Club To Walter "Red" Barber In Grateful Recognition of Distinguished Services To Baseball and to Brooklyn - May 24, 1943.
