Don Larsen and Yogi Berra’s Dual-Signed Baseball: A Piece of World Series History
A Legendary Moment in Baseball
In the storied annals of Major League Baseball, few moments shine as brightly as Don Larsen’s perfect game during the 1956 World Series. This remarkable feat, achieved at Yankee Stadium against the formidable Brooklyn Dodgers, remains the only perfect game ever pitched in World Series history. The synergy between Larsen and his catcher, the legendary Yogi Berra, was instrumental in this historic achievement.
The Dual-Signed Baseball
This Rawlings manufactured OAL Brown baseball is a testament to that unforgettable day. Dual-signed by both Don Larsen and Yogi Berra, it captures the essence of their collaboration. Larsen’s signature graces the east panel in blue ink, accompanied by an inscription that reads, “Yogi was key in my perfect game v.s. Brooklyn Dodgers 1956 World Series Monday, October 8, 1956 1:05 pm.” This inscription, penned by Larsen himself, adds a personal touch to the artifact, making it a cherished piece of baseball memorabilia.
Yogi Berra’s Signature
On the sweet spot of the baseball, Yogi Berra’s signature is prominently displayed in blue ink. Both signatures, in our expert opinion, rate an impressive 8 out of 10, reflecting their clarity and preservation. The baseball also features the Dodgers’ lineup, with positions, numbers of at-bats, runs, and hits—all zeros except for the at-bats, underscoring the perfection of Larsen’s performance.
