" “They can never break my record,” Larsen would say of his game. “The best they can do is tie it."

Don's WS perfect game is an accomplishment that may never be broken.

RIP.

Not only did he throw a Perfect game in the WS but just two years prior to that he was acquired from the Orioles in a 18 player trade! I think we will see another perfecto in the WS before we see another trade like that


November 17, 1954: Traded by the Baltimore Orioles with players to be named later, Billy Hunter and Bob Turley to the New York Yankees for players to be named later, Harry Byrd, Jim McDonald, Willy Miranda, Hal Smith, Gus Triandos and Gene Woodling. The New York Yankees sent Bill Miller (December 1, 1954), Kal Segrist (December 1, 1954), Don Leppert (December 1, 1954) and Theodore Del Guercio (minors) (December 1, 1954) to the Baltimore Orioles to complete the trade. The Baltimore Orioles sent Mike Blyzka (December 1, 1954), Darrell Johnson (December 1, 1954), Jim Fridley (December 1, 1954) and Dick Kryhoski (December 1, 1954) to the New York Yankees to complete the trade.
