Summary: The Perfect Yankee is perfect.
Review: Baseball books are a dime a dozen, but the story of Don Larsen's remarkable achievement is outstanding. Author Shaw captures Larsen's voice and the miracle that occurred on October 8, 1956. This is a must read for any baseball fan.

Summary: Don Larsen pitched the greatest game in baseball history.
Review: Collaborating with Don Larsen on this book was the experience of a lifetime. His no-hit, perfect game performance in the Fifth Game of the 1956 World Series stands alone as one of the great miracles in sports history. Mowing down the Brooklyn Dodgers like little leaguers, Larsen,a comic book lover who was nicknamed Gooney Bird, proved that anything is possible if one never quits believing in themselves.

Summary: Big Surprise
Review: Considering Im not a Yankee fan, far from one actually, the fact I loved this book should appear odd. But this story about an average player accomplishing something that no one ever has or will ever do ever again. It just makes me want to cry, that's why I gave this book 5 out of 5. Baseball is a great sport!BTW, All the facts in this book are correct, no facts are wrong... I think the guy on the bottom is drunk.

Summary: The Perfect Yankee is a great sports book.
Review: Don Larsen's perfect game in the 1956 World Series was a masterpiece, the greatest game ever pitched. This book chronicles Larsen's thoughts and explains why he was the most unlikely candidate to pitch such a game. The Perfect Yankee is a must read for any sports fan.
Rating: 
Summary: A Complete Waste of Time
Review: I have rarely been as disappointed in a book as I was by this one. The book abounds with errors of fact, misspellings and boring retelling of stories well known to any baseball fan. The only thing perfect about this book is that it's perfectly dreadful.
