    When Don Larsen pitched his perfect game on October 8, 1956 at Yankee Stadium ... the 5th game of the world series?


    I heard the last batter and pitch. I was changing classes in high school and as I passed the principal's office heard the game being played on their radio. The principal, a tough but fair fellow, let us stay to hear the last batter and go to the next class late.

    Who is Don Larsen? :laugh:

    Sorry, American brethren, you may find this hard to believe, but I cannot recall any baseball match, hower prestigious the players.

    However, I can say that as 8th October, 1956 was a Monday, I would have been at primary school (school for 5-11s, so a bit like American "elementary schools", I imagine).

    Don't you believe it for a moment, Sir.

    I, for one, always value your contributions. :godisgood:
