There aren't too many games that were much better than that. Larsen was just a good World Series pitcher, apparently - in the 1958 World Series, two years after his 1956 perfect game, he started two games, posting a 0.96 ERA. Overall, in 10 World Series games (six of them started), he had a 2.75 ERA.
He couldn't really translate his playoff success into regular season success, however. In 14 years in the big leagues, he posted an 81 and 91 record with a 3.78. His career high in games won in a season was 11 (which he accomplished in 1956, as a matter of fact). One year, he posted a horrible 3 and 23 record, and another year he went 1 and 10.
Good thing he pitched a perfect game in his career. Had he never done so, I have the feeling his career would not be looked upon so fondly nowadays.
How many baseball teams are in the national league?

Jose Reyes bunts for a base hit in the last game of the season and is removed from the game. He is leading the NL in batting. OK by you?

You're reading Do you think Don Larson's perfect game in the 1956 World Series was the greatest World Series performance ever? If not, who had a better single World Series game performance?
