Remembering ’65: ‘The Sound of the Dodgers’

By Jon Weisman

One day in May, this little item appeared deep in the game notes of the Times’ Frank Finch:

Maury Wills and Willie Davis cut records with Stubby Kaye Friday afternoon as well as doing single platters. During the session Jimmy Durante made a record called ‘Dandy Sandy,’ singing the praises of Prof. Koufax. Wills said it would be a smash.

You didn’t think I would leave you hanging, did you?

It’s from this album, “The Sound of the Dodgers,” which also features another track: Vin Scully’s soliloquy, “What Is a Dodger?”
