In 1956 NY Yankee Don Larsen became the first major league pitcher to throw a perfect game in the World Series. In Game Five versus the Brooklyn Dodgers, it took Larsen only 97 pitches to complete the game. David Wells had two tenures as a pitcher with the New York Yankees, spanning 1997-1998 and 2002-2003. Wells won the World Series with the Bombers in 1998 and earlier that same year, on May 17 in a game against the Minnesota Twins, he threw the first perfect game by a Yankees pitcher since Don Larsen. David Cone joined the elite club of Major League pitchers to throw a perfect game on July 18, 1999 against the Montreal Expos. With Don Larsen and Yogi Berra in attendance, David Cone becomes only the 17th pitcher ever to throw a perfect game. He struck out 10 and it took him only 88 pitches to complete the game. The pitchers of the only 3 perfect games in Yankees history are all together on this Official American League (Budig) baseball. Don Larsen, Dave Cone, and David Wells have each signed in blue ballpoint pen, with each inscribing the date of their accomplishment. Overall in fine condition with some spotting. Authenticated by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a full Letter of Authenticity.
