I bought a full 1956 Game 5 World Series ticket last year. That of course was Don Larsen's perfect game. I wanted to have Don sign it, but he lives in Idaho and he rarely travels. I wrote him a letter last June and he finally responded in January. He offered to meet me in NYC at the Yankee's Old Timer's Game in June or at Yankee Spring Training in March.
I was able to meet him in Tampa last week and he was kind enough to sign my ticket. At 89 Don is very sharp and he's very humble too. He told me that he's a very lucky guy and he was very lucky that day. He is the only man still alive who played in that game!
This was an awesome experience for me!
