    I once read a Casey Stengel comment that the only thing Don Larsen feared was sleep. RIP sir, that '56 World Series perfecto still ranks way above most Diamond accomplishments in the game of baseball.

    R.I.P. Mr. PERFECTO! That one historic accomplishment made an ordinary pitcher a great one,
    even if it was for one day.........but what a day! It has lasted a lifetime.
