This lot features a Don Larsen & Yogi Berra New York Yankees autographed 16x20 matted photo. To this day, Larsen's World Series perfect game in 1956 remains the only one ever thrown during the fall classic. Larsen was pitching to Hall of Fame catcher, Yogi Berra.
Don Larsen and Yogi Berra are forever linked in baseball history for their historic performance in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series. Larsen, a journeyman pitcher for the New York Yankees, was tasked with facing off against the Brooklyn Dodgers in a pivotal game. Berra, one of the greatest catchers of all time, was behind the plate. What followed was one of the most dominant pitching performances in baseball history, as Larsen threw a perfect game - the only one ever thrown in a World Series. Berra was instrumental in Larsen's success, calling the pitches and working seamlessly with the pitcher throughout the game. The two players became forever linked in baseball lore, and their achievement is celebrated to this day as one of the greatest moments in sports history. (Stacks of Plaques)
