Koufax and Drysdale in their prime were way too much for a Yankee team that was showing its age.  Those were the years Maury Wills and Davis   manufactured runs with their legs, and the pitching staff didn’t need much help.

(Trivia – what long time Yankee was traded to the Dodgers before the 1963 season and so picked up another WS ring that year  - but said he still considered himself a Yankee so he never wore it!)
