On one hand my first-ever Yankees game at The Stadium being the start before David Wells threw a perfect game is odd enough; meanwhile, him having gone to the same high school as Don Larson makes things really weird.
Not as weird as next year's David Cone perfect game, but still.
Making the game even more remarkable was that it was "Yogi Berra Day" at Yankee Stadium. After a long feud with owner George Steinbrenner, Berra agreed to return to the stadium that day, and caught the ceremonial first pitch from fellow perfect game pitcher Don Larsen. Larsen could be seen smiling in the press box after the final out was recorded.
