Players You Forgot Were Astros: Pitcher Don Larsen

The year 2020, which has already proven to be a ridiculous mess, started off on the wrong foot with the news that Don Larsen died on Jan. 1 at age 90. Larsen is best remembered for one particular game which came a few years before his brief time with the Houston Astros.

Larsen, of course, threw a perfect game for the New York Yankees in the 1956 World Series. To this day, he remains the only pitcher to throw a perfect game in the postseason and the only one to throw a no-hitter in the World Series.
