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.

I love Alabama. Beautiful state.

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