| With two Hall of Fame pitching arms and four pitchers who won in double-figures in the season, the Los Angeles Dodgers were favored to win the 1966 World Series. But, because of a religious holiday, one of the pitchers refused to pitch on day one of the series, and took the blame for the series' loss to the Orioles. Who was the pitcher? | World Series Blunders (Nightmare) |

The Jewish holiday Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, interfered with the Dodgers' plans to start Koufax for game one of the series. Koufax saw it the other way around, and refused to pitch. This was the blame for throwing the season rotation out of synch. Don Drysdale started game one and lasted only three innnings, being tagged for four runs. Koufax, who wasn't used to following Drysdale in the rotation, was shutout in game two. The Orioles won the series four games to none. Koufax, who went 27-9 in the season, retired after the series.
