Trying to think of another sports figure who will have as obvious an epitaph. Coming up with Bob Beamon... Ralph Branca...maybe Curt Flood? But Larsen is obviously that guy.

Well dang. Not just a no hitter, but, a perfect game in the World Series, an amazing accomplishment. He also went to my high school...not at the same time I went though. I'm not that old.

Damn, I just saw him a few months ago at our local minor league stadium doing autographs, while smoking... still lived till 90 though.
