THE SPRINGFIELD UNION, Springfield, Massachusetts, October 9, 1956
* Don Larsen's famous perfect game
* 1956 World Series original
* New York Yankeees
On the front page at the top of the first three columns is a 2 line, 3 column head about the perfect game thrown by Don Larsen of the Yankees in the 1956 World Series: "Larsen Has Perfect Game As Yankees Triumph, 2-0" and subheads: "Big Pitcher Makes Baseball History With Brilliant World Series Victory Over Brooklyn; New York Takes One-Game Lead; Mantle Hits Key Homer".
The report of the game begins: "Don Larsen, a rugged...right handed pitcher of solid dimensions climbed the pinnacle of pitching greatness--and perfection--in Yankee Stadium today."
The front page also has the famous photo of Larsen hugging Yogi Berra after he struck out Dale Mitchell for the final out of the game.
Also has the box score headed: "Grand Larceny". The coverage continues inside where there are additional reports & several photos, plus the "Composite Box Score" of the first five games. Great to have this report on the front page, especially with the famous photo.
One of the better reports about Larsen's perfect game that we have seen! Good condition.
