Pretty good game. The Dodgers had five hall of famers on the field in the game: Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider, Pee Wee Reese, Gil Hodges and Roy Campanella. So Larsen threw very well in his perfect game.
Why might his perfect game day have been less than completely perfect for Mr. Larsen?
Because Mrs. Larsen served him with divorce papers the morning of his WS perfect game.
