Don Larsen, the only pitcher to pitch a post-season perfect game, passed away on January 1, 2020 at age 90.
An otherwise average pitcher, Larsen is remembered for his feat in game 5 of the 1956 World Series.
He played for 14 seasons (1953-67), mostly for the Yankees (1955-59) and Giants (1962-64). Larsen played in the World Series from 1955-58 and in 1962, and was the Series MVP in 1956.
