Saturday marks the 60th anniversary of New York Yankees starter Don Larsen’s perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers in Game 5 of the World Series.
It was a highly unexpected pitching performance, given that Larsen allowed four runs and got only five outs in Game 2 of the Series.
But there were hints of potential greatness in September, a month in which Larsen allowed two runs and 15 hits in 34 2/3 innings, after changing his pitching motion to a no-windup delivery.
What should we remember of that game?
A loaded Dodgers lineup
The Dodgers had four eventual Hall of Famers in their lineup, the most any pitcher has faced in a perfect game outing.
