Koufax Jersey, Robinson Bat Top All-Star Auction

A 1966 Sandy Koufax game-worn Dodgers jersey sold for $184,000, topping all items sold at Tuesday’s 12^th annual MLB All-Star FanFest Auction in San Diego.

The home white McAuliffe jersey was acquired by a former MLB executive in 1973 and had been in his collection until its consignment to Hunt Auctions, which once again conducted the sale.

1966 was Koufax’s final season before he retired because of ongoing arm trouble.
