"This project was an amazing, collaborative environment with such creative people and we all came together to try and portray the Lakers' impact, not only in LA but around the world," Natalia Bryant said. "Everyone has their own connection to the Lakers. "I hope those who already love this team watch this project and remember what that pride feels like. And if you're not a Lakers fan yet, I hope you watch this, and it makes you want to be."
This day in Los Angeles Dodgers history saw Sandy Koufax break the National League record for strikeouts in a season on Sept. 27, 1961. The left-hander surpassed Christy Mathewson, who held the previous mark with 267 during the 1903 campaign. Koufax struck out seven batters over eight innings pitched in a 2-1 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. It was the Hall of Famer's final start of the 1961 season, finishing with a then-record 269 strikeouts.
