Karl Spooner broke in like few other pitchers in the history of the game. He and another lefty, Sandy Koufax, hit the mound for the Dodgers in 1955. In his MLB debut he threw a complete game shutout, giving up 3 hits, and striking out a record 15 batters. In his next start he struck out 12 in another complete game shutout. His record for 1955 was 18 innings, no runs against, 27 Ks and only 6 walks. Unfortunately this was as good as it would get, as mediocrity and injuries took over. But for a brief time, Spooner was the talk of baseball. This, his 2nd year card, grades a superlative 8 NM-MT by PSA!
