Two Perfect Games at Yankee Stadium Across A Lifetime

The writer recalls being 11 at Yanks Stadium in 1956 for Don Larsen’s perfect game and later witnessing David Wells’ near perfect game in 1998. He notes shared memories with Bob Sheppard, Don Zimmer, and Joe Torre, and recalls Mantle’s famous catch and Robinson’s scare. The piece contrasts the two masterpieces and reflects on lasting awe and disbelief.

Wells Makes History With Perfect Game In Bronx

The 18th pitcher in modern baseball to throw a perfect game, John Wells blanked Minnesota in a dominant 9 inning performance. He retired 37 straight batters, faced nine in the final frame, and received standout support from teammates and fans during the Beanie Babies promotion day. Torre and ONeill praised the rarity and pressure of the moment, while Wells credited throwing strikes and a sunk sinker for the clincher.

Indians fall as Texas edges Cleveland in late rally

Colon pitched into the eighth for the Tribe allowing one run on five hits with five strikeouts and a lowered ERA to 2.48. Sele earned his seventh win, striking out nine in eight innings, with Wetteland closing for save No. 12. Indians’ baserunning miscues helped Texas seal the decisive run on Will Clark’s fielders choice and a costly Vizquel throw.
