Listen to Don Larsen's perfect game

Monday, Oct. 8, 1956. Dodgers vs. Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Game 5 of the 1956 World Series. Sal Maglie is on the mound for the Dodgers. Don Larsen's pitching for the Yanks. Yankee Stadium is packed, from the first pitch to the final out. Maglie's performance is superb. Larsen's perfect game is unprecedented ... and remains, 50 years later, unmatched.

Larsen's cousin, Phillip Hoose, does an excellent job of describing the feat in his book, Perfect, Once Removed.

If you want to hear the game as those listening back in '56 did, have at it.
