On Monday, October 8, 1956, in Game 5 of the 1956 World Series,
pitcher Don Larsen of the New York Yankees threw a perfect game
against the Brooklyn Dodgers at Yankee Stadium. Larsen's perfect game
is the only perfect game in the history of the World Series; it was the first
perfect game of any kind thrown in 34 years and is one of only 23 perfect
games in MLB history.
footnotes:
The Dodgers played their final game at Ebbets Field on 9/24/1957.
In 1958, they became the LA Dodgers.
The original Yankee Stadium was demolished in 2010, two years
after it closed for good.

My dad was a senior in high school, and the principal called the whole school into their auditorium so they could hear the last few innings on the radio. Tiny town in rural Alabama.

Born and raised there; both sides of my family have been in AL since forever (and longer than that on my mom's side).
