RIP Don Larsen

Don Larsen, still the only pitcher to hurl a perfect game in the World Series, has died.

Sad. Watching him (on tv of course) throw out the first pitch to Yogi Berra, who had been invited back to the Stadium for the first time in 50 years, for David Cone’s own perfect game was one of the all-time goosebumps moments I ever saw.

BONUS: turns out he had no idea he’d thrown a perfect game until the clubhouse after the game. 
until the clubhouse after the game.
