Sweet Lou Johnson LA County 1990 Plaque 25th Anniversary Dodgers World Series. “Sweet Lou” Johnson hit a two-run home run in the 7th inning of the 7th game of the 1965 World Series on October 14, 1965, providing the only runs Sandy Koufax and the Los Angeles Dodgers needed to defeat the Minnesota Twins 2 to 0 and win the World Series. Lou became a local hero. When he retired from baseball a few years later, the Dodgers hired Lou as part of their Community Relations team, where he remained until retiring. On October 17, 1990, the Los Angeles County supervisors presented Lou with a plaque on the 25th anniversary of his World Series heroics celebrating his feat and also his Community Relations work that included the Watts Clinic established ten years prior to the award. The award consists of an enamel seal of the County of Los Angeles over an engraved brass plate on a wooden back that is signed by the county supervisors. It is 14 by 17 inches overall and in very good condition. Vendio Images: More than just a pretty image. 250+ Mobile Responsive & Active Content Free Listing Templates with Vendio Sales Manager.
