Joe, Thanks so much! I was so excited about this when I opened the newspapers from 1965 this morning and saw that Koufax had pitched against Spahn "yesterday."

Thanks Jerry! I had been thinking the last few weeks, I wonder of Koufax ever faced Spahn while he was on the Mets. But one of the rules of sports time travel is that you can't look ahead. It was so exciting to open the June 21, 1965 newspapers this morning and find that the dream matchup really did take place, and that it was one for the ages.
