I remember this game in great detail. I stayed home from school that day with a feigned stomach ache just so I could watch the game. No world series night games back then.
The world is less perfect today....Prayers to his family. RIP Mr. Don Larson
It may be just me but I find this badly written. I'd prefer "Don Larsen, the great Yankee alum ..." which shows that he played for other teams (6) in his 15 years in the majors but that he did very well as a Yankee player.
Sigh, even sports reporting has gone way down hill!
R.I.P. and condolences to his family & friends!
I was born on Sept 17th that year.
The season would have just been finishing in about a week I am guessing.
Cool,
But as a Twins fan, I really dislike the Yankees.
I did a ctrl-f search for "Larsen" and it didn't come up so I started my thread.
