I took my family to dinner in Seattle this evening. During the drive up my 17 year old daughter was telling her boyfriend about how I made her wait in line for two hours to get an autograph when she was 6. She told him that he was an old Yankee who was very friendly. She said he did something special. She then said to me, " Hey dad what was that guys name?" When I got home an hour later we learned that Don Larsen had just died. Rest in peace Mr. Larsen.

Sorry to hear this. One of my earliest nostalgia baseball memories is the final out on grainy black and white footage, jumping with Yogi. Glad the “only postseason no-hitter” lasted for so many years.
Rest in Paradise

Met him several times. Really nice guy! Pillar of baseball history. RIP.

My friend once told me to send him a check, he gave the money to some charity(?).
So I did, and a few weeks later, I got an awesome photo in the mail, signed by both him and Yogi.

Then I looked at the cancelled check, and he had signed the back!

One of my favorite pictures, and still hangs on the wall today.

A truly odd footnote to Larsen: Both he and David Wells were Yanks; each threw a perfect game as Yanks; and the kicker - each went to the same HS - Pt. Loma High in San Diego. What are the odds?
