I hope that game is released on DVD. I love watching the full games instead of just the "highlights."

I think some sportswriters voted it (on one of the many such lists) baseball's third-greatest "moment," behind the homers by Thomson in 1951 and Mazeroski in 1960.

The only living players from that game are Larsen, Berra, Carey, McDougald, and Snider.

Mantle claimed that he was never more nervous that late in that game.

Without looking it up, name the eight (future) Hall-of-Famers who played.

I suspect it was the only perfect game thrown by someone who, before the game, didn't know there was such a thing as a perfect game.
