Trying to think of another sports figure who will have as obvious an epitaph. Coming up with Bob Beamon... Ralph Branca...maybe Curt Flood? But Larsen is obviously that guy.

Have a signed photo of the final pitch of that perfect game in my game room. R.I.P

Well dang. Not just a no hitter, but, a perfect game in the World Series, an amazing accomplishment. He also went to my high school...not at the same time I went though. I'm not that old.

Damn, I just saw him a few months ago at our local minor league stadium doing autographs, while smoking... still lived till 90 though.
