Don Larsen's World Series perfect game uniform to be auctioned

[madducks]

It will be an online auction from October 8 (56th anniversary) until December 2. The auction is 56 days to commemorate the year of the game (and drive up the price). Larsen is selling it to pay for his grandchildren's college educations.

Larsen auctioned the cap, glove, shoes and last-out baseball from his perfect game in 2002. They were all bronzed and sold for $120,750.

Yogi Berra's uniform from the same game sold at auction for $565,000.

I have an autographed picture of him throwing the last pitch with the scoreboard in the background.

I would guess he signed a lot of them, but I really like it. A special moment in baseball history.
