A mediocre pitcher at best. But that one day he was the greatest ever. RIP.
…remember when sports was about, you know, SPORTS?
…I bet not ONE PERSON was ever told who Don Larsen though they should vote for.
*sigh*
RIP Mr. Larsen. I appreciate knowing nothing but your stats…
I know I watched part of that WS on TV, maybe even his perfect game, but I really didn’t know what it was about. It was another few years before I got seriously interested in baseball.
RIP Mr. Larsen.
Fun trivia question: What is the only High School that had 2 pitchers throw perfect games in MLB?
Both Don Larsen and David Wells attended Point Loma HS in San Diego and both threw perfect games in MLB (ironically both for my most hated team who shall remain nameless). My illustrious wife also attended PLHS which is how I am aware of such minutia. 🙂
RIP Don Larsen. You were a class gentleman.
… if you don’t want politics interjected into SPORTS …
then don’t interject it!!! …. just sayin’
RIP Don Larsen, you accomplished what no one has done before, or since
