Don Larsen's perfect game

It's become WP consensus that each MLB perfect game meets WP:SPORTSEVENT and deserves its own article. The only one to happen in a WS, perhaps the most famous one (I'm biased, sue me), doesn't have its own article, merely a redirect I created last month. In the process of working on Larsen, we should get on that perfect game article too. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:22, 26 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, easily among the most famous games in baseball history, with many sources on the subject. I'm currently using two books here, with a third on the way, I got rid of a fourth one after deciding it's not reliable enough with some content I found dubious (like he was drunk prior to the game), and doesn't go into new detail.

Dee Harshman

I knew a woman in KCMO who was married to Don Larsen at one point, had pictures of them together etc. She was a stewardess and met him on an airplane. Her name was Dee Harshman, she dumped him after she found him cheating with “baseball bunnies.”

I can’t find any record of this - can anyone else? 2600:4041:5802:1000:B160:197F:47D1:9E2E (talk) 12:37, 3 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
