On October 8, 1956, in Game 5 of the World Series, Don Larsen etched his name into baseball immortality. Facing the powerful Brooklyn Dodgers lineup, the unassuming right-hander for the New York Yankees did what no one had done before — or since: he threw a perfect game on baseball’s biggest stage.
No hits. No walks. No errors. Twenty-seven up, twenty-seven down.
It was the only perfect game in World Series history, and over six decades later, it remains one of the rarest and most celebrated feats in all of professional sports.
The Definition of Clutch
Larsen wasn’t the ace of the Yankees’ staff. He had a modest 11–5 record that year and had been shelled in his previous postseason start. But on that crisp October afternoon in Yankee Stadium, he delivered perfection.
He needed just 97 pitches, struck out seven, and left the Dodgers stunned. As catcher Yogi Berra leapt into his arms at the final out, the moment became instantly iconic — frozen in time and forever synonymous with postseason greatness.
