“Maybe it’s his permanent, personal seats, but Sandy Koufax doesn’t take second place to anyone. Especially at Dodger Stadium.”

The Duke of Sussex and Markle were also seated in the row in front of NBA legend and Dodgers co-owner Magic Johnson.

Koufax, 89, is one of the most decorated pitchers in MLB history. Koufax, born in Brooklyn, spent his entire career with the Dodgers.

He made his debut at age 19, while still in Brooklyn, and remained with the team as they moved to Los Angeles three years into his career. Koufax won the National League MVP in 1963, is a three-time Cy Young winner, a four-time World Series champion and a two-time World Series MVP.

Koufax retired at age 30 due to chronic elbow pain and became the youngest person ever inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame at age 36.

The once-in-a-generation talent accumulated a 165-87 record with a 2.87 ERA in 2,324 ⅓ innings during his career. Koufax threw 137 complete games during his incredible career.

The Dodgers wish they could turn back time to have Koufax suit up and pitch for them in Game 6, as they lost to the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Wednesday night to fall behind 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

Game 6 of the World Series is Friday at the Rogers Center in Toronto at 8 p.m. ET, and FOX is broadcasting the game exclusively.

The Dodgers will look to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who pitched a complete game in their Game 2 victory, to save their season, while the Blue Jays will start Kevin Gausman.
