History

Historical Context

On October 8, 1956, Don Larsen of the New York Yankees threw the only World Series perfect game, retiring 27 batters on 97 pitches against the Brooklyn Dodgers. The feat echoed the term “perfect game,” first printed in 1908 to describe Addie Joss’s performance, and remained unmatched until the Houston Astros’ combined no-hit World Series effort in 2022.
