Larsen, who had a mediocre regular season with an 11-5 record and a 3.26 ERA, took the mound that day at Yankee Stadium in front of 64,519 fans. He faced a formidable Dodgers lineup that included future Hall of Famers like Jackie Robinson, Roy Campanella, and Duke Snider.
From the very first pitch, Larsen was in complete control. He retired all 27 batters he faced, striking out seven along the way. The Dodgers didn't even come close to getting a hit, with only one ball leaving the infield throughout the entire game.
The tensest moment came in the second inning when Dodgers batter Pee Wee Reese hit a line drive to Yankees third baseman Andy Carey. Carey managed to snag the ball with a leaping catch, preserving Larsen's perfect game.
As the game progressed, the excitement in the stadium grew with each out. In the ninth inning, Larsen faced pinch-hitter Dale Mitchell with two outs. On a 1-2 count, Larsen threw a fastball that Mitchell took for a called third strike, completing the perfect game and sending the Yankee Stadium crowd into a frenzy.
Larsen's perfect game helped the Yankees win the World Series that year, and it remains one of the most iconic moments in baseball history. It was a testament to Larsen's skill and composure under pressure, and it cemented his place in the annals of sports history.
