On September 27, 1961 -- Sandy Koufax (18-13) breaks the National League mark for strikeouts in a season, surpassing Christy Mathewson's mark of 267 established in 1903. Koufax fans seven Phils in the course of a 2 - 1 loss. Mathewson's 267 in 1903, which was accomplished in 367 innings pitched, as opposed to Koufax's remarkable 255. Both runs off Sandy are unearned.

Unlike the turmoil caused by commissioner Ford Frick's edict of having to hit 61 homers by the 154th game in the extended 162-game schedule to break Babe Ruth's single season home run record, little is made that the Dodgers southpaw's 268th punch-out occurs in the 151st game of the season, compared to the 142-game sked played early in the century.
