The former New York Yankees pitcher had a career record of 81-91. One season he led the American League in losses with 21. He never won more than 11 games in any one season. Yet of all the men ever to start a World Series game, it was Don Larsen who would author the most incredible stories in the history of the Fall Classic by throwing a perfect game.
Larsen started Game Two of the 1956 World Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field, but couldn’t get out of the second inning as the Yankees squandered an early 6-0 lead, losing 13-8.
