Sandy Koufax throws his first no-hitter of his career when he defeats the New York Mets, 5-0 at Dodger Stadium. After the game, the future Hall of Famer signed a baseball to O'Malley with the inscription:
"To Mr. O'Malley, I'm very glad it happened in our great new home, Sincerely, Sandy Koufax." This is one of four no-hitter baseballs Koufax autographed and presented to O’Malley.

As the Dodgers slipped to ninth-place in the 10-team National League standings, 10 games behind San Francisco, Walter O’Malley shows a vote of confidence for Manager Walter Alston. “I have full confidence in my organization, from top to bottom,” said O’Malley. “We’re better than the standings show. Of course, I’m not pleased. This is the lowest the team has fallen in the history of the Dodgers. I may have a talk with Alston later, although I usually leave that to (Vice President Buzzie) Bavasi.” Bob Hunter, Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, June 30, 1964
