By the fall of 1956, Cubans were watching The World Series on TV in the island. As my father told me, they watched Game 5 and Don Larsen’s perfect game against the Brooklyn Dodgers. My father said that they had a little TV at the bank and caught the game.
It is still the only post-season perfect game in major league history.
Don played 14 seasons with various teams: 81-91 with a 3.78 ERA. He stood out on October afternoon in New York!
