DON LARSEN’S PERFECT GAME, 1956 WORLD SERIES GAME 5, OCTOBER 8, 1956
On this cool autumn day Don Larsen tossed the fourth perfect game since 1900 on the grandest stage of all--the World Series featuring two of the sports’ fiercest rivals. Across the ten Fall Classics from 1947 to 1956 the Brooklyn Dodgers and Yankees met six times with the pinstriped squad winning all but the 1955 matchup.

This remarkable feat is a time-capsule of baseball from a different era as broadcast on television from a different era. With the first live coast-to-coast television broadcast of a Major League game 1951 the nascent television coverage, announcing, and techniques were all beginning to find a permanent role in the baseball landscape. This stunning and riveting theatrical performance is framed with the perfect play-by-play from Mel Allen, a young Vin Scully, plus a bonus audio track--Bob Wolff’s radiocast. The three announcers on this DVD--Wolff, Allen, and Scully--have been honored by the National Baseball Hall of Fame as Ford C. Frick Award winners.

DAVE RIGHETTI’S NO-HITTER, JULY 4, 1983 VS. BOSTON
As the nation, and club owner George Steinbrenner, celebrated a birthday, Dave Righetti achieved a pitcher’s dream with a star-spangled Yankee-doodle-dandy of an outing. His no-hit gem against the rival Boston Red Sox with broadcast legent Mel Allen a guest announcer still shines like a sparkling Independence Day fireworks display.

Lefty pitcher Dave Righetti arrived in New York in 1979, and in 1981 the AL Rookie of the Year helped the Yankees reach the World Series. But it was on this sultry summer day that “Rags” etched his name in the Yankees’ honor roll. Righetti faced a Boston lineup that boasted the eventual American League batting average leader (Wade Boggs, .361) plus the home run and RBI leader (Jim Rice, 39/126.) Naturally the baseball fates placed the hitting-happy Boggs as the final batsman between Righetti and the history books.

JIM ABBBOTT’S NO-HITTER, SEPTEMBER 4, 1993 VS. CLEVELAND
Of all the no-hitters ever thrown at Yankee Stadium, perhaps none was more unforeseen or inspirational. Jim Abbot chiseled his way into the record books with one of the iconic and uplifting moments at Yankee Stadium.

A dynamic pitcher, Abbot’s success is made even more noteworthy as he was born without a right hand. On this afternoon he soared above any challenge with masterful pitching and guile. Abbot faced a Cleveland lineup featuring a trio of young sluggers who would go on to outstanding success, including, in just his third Major League Baseball game, September call-up Manny Ramirez. However, on this day the spirits of Yankee Stadium stood in awe as Abbott rose above the game to life his team and his adoring fans.

DWIGHT GOODEN’S NO-HITTER, MAY 14, 1996 VS. SEATTLE
After being out of Major League Baseball in 1995, the Yankees provided Dwight “Doc” Gooden with a fresh start and a return to the city he electrified a decade earlier. Featuring an explosive fastball and devastating curveball, Gooden dominated the National League with mroe than 700 strikeouts in his first three seasons. However, off-field problems resulted in his suspension from Major League Baseball for the 1995 season.

Serendipitously, Doc’s fortunes began to turn when an injury to David Cone allowed Gooden to enter the Yankees starting rotation. Then, with his father scheduled for open-heart surgery the next morning Gooden took the ball, climbed the mound and crafted an improbable no-hitter over a powerful Seattle Mariners lineup. Dwight Gooden became the first right-handed pitcher to spin a no-hitter at Yankee Stadium since Larsen’s gem 40 years earlier. The historic feat punctuated Doc’s remarkable return and set an historic Yankees season into motion.

DAVID WELLS’ PERFECT GAME, MAY 17, 1998 VS. MINNESOTA
David Wells carried a reputation as a big-game pitcher. Very few games are bigger than a perfect game. On a perfect spring Sunday, David Wells, a lover of baseball history, made history as he became the 15th man to pitch a perfect game and the lucky 13th since 1900.Yankee Stadium lore spins events into history and often history into mystery. The mystical thread of Stadium legend wove its way into Wells’ tour de force with an unparalleled intersection of perfection. In 1947 Don Larsen--weaver of the Yankees only other Perfect Game, graduated from Point Loma high school in San Diego; 35 years later David Wells became an alumnus of Point Loma.

During the 1998 season David “Boomer” Wells tallied 18 wins and then added four more in the postseason as he and the Yankees notched a record-setting 125 wins for the annum. Perfect.

DAVID CONE’S PERFECT GAME, JULY 18, 1999 VS. MONTREAL
The day began with a perfect salute. On Yogi Berra Day, Don Larsen threw the ceremonial first pitch to Berra, his legendary battery mate from the 1956 perfect game. With the pitch, a chain of events was set in motion which seemingly reminded the baseball gods why Yankee Stadium is a favorite resting spot.

The day ended with David Cone holding his head in disbelief. At a wizened 36 years and with a Cy Young Award in his trophy case, Cone became the second oldest pitcher to face and retire all 27 batters in a row. The oldest mound-magician (at 37) was none other than Cy Young of the Boston Americans.

Cone finished off the third perfect game at Yankee Stadium, the third perfect game and sixth no-hitter in this extraordinary set, and another remarkable intersection of Yankees heroics past and present.
