Oh my goodness. If I were anywhere near New York City on July 10th I would be SO there.
There will be a screening of the original TV broadcast of Don Larsen's Perfect game at BB King's Blues Club and Grill in NYC on July 10th.
Complete TV broadcasts of baseball games prior to use of video tape in the late 1960s are very rare because the networks didn’t save the films. Many have seen the highlight reel of Larsen striking out Dale Mitchell for the final out and Berra jumping into Larsen’s arms, but only one known copy of the game exists today. While the film has been preserved for over five decades it has been shown on very few occasions.
This will be the first time this historic game will be shown in New York City since the game was played.
