Fire up the TV set
At 7:00 P.M. Eastern on January 1, the brand-new MLB Network will present a rebroadcast of Don Larsen's perfect game from the 1956 World Series. As I understand it, the source is a kinescope that was discovered fairly recently.

"The Greatest Game Ever Pitched"
From the Yankees' 1981 yearbook. The artist did the "Spider-Man" comic strip for years, so it's nice to see that he can present an entire baseball game in only four pages.
thatbob: "No one will ever better Don Larsen's performance in the Greatest Game Ever Pitched!" is quite a claim. Mightn't someone pitch a perfect World Series game AND hit a couple of grand slams? And wouldn't that, by any standard, be considered a better performance?
