YANKEE GREAT LARSEN DEAD AT 90

Don Larsen, the only player to throw a perfect game in the World Series, died at the age of 90, his representative announced on Wednesday night.

“The world is less ‘perfect’ today,” Andrew Levy’s tweet read. “Don Larsen, the only man to pitch a perfect game in World Series history, is gone. Goodbye, my friend. We will miss you!”

Levy said Larsen, shown, died of esophageal cancer in Hayden, Iowa.

Born in Michigan City, Ind., on Aug. 7, 1929, Larsen posted a career 81-91 record with seven big-league clubs and won two World Series over 14 seasons with the New York Yankees. But he pitched his way into baseball lore on Oct. 8, 1956, when he retired all 27 Brooklyn Dodgers he faced as the New York Yankees won Game 5 by a 2-0 score before wrapping up the World Series in seven games.
