You can have Don Larsen's World Series perfect game uniform for a cool million dollars

Recall MLB Hall of Famer and former Baltimore Orioles pitcher Jim Palmer auctioned off a bunch of his awards in order to help pay for his grandchildren's education because he may have given Don Larsen an idea. They Yankee legend is looking to auction off the uniform he won when he pitched the only perfect game in World Series history for one million dollars. Larsen hurled perfection on Monday, October 8, 1956 in game 5 of the Series against the Brooklyn Dodgers.

“What am I going to do with it? I don’t want to be dead when it’s up for sale,” said Larsen at the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center in Montclair, NJ.

“I’ve been thinking about it. I’m not getting any younger and I want to see my [two] grandkids graduate from college — and maybe there’ll be something left over,” added the 83-year-old Larsen.

Stephen Costello, executive vice president of auctioneers Steiner Sports added: “The gravity of something like this is one of a kind. There will never be another.”

See now, that's just the kind of guarantee that really gets Mike Francesa's panties in a bunch.
