Yogi Berra and Don Larsen are two notable figures in the world of baseball, remembered for their remarkable achievements and contributions to the sport.

Yogi Berra, born Lawrence Peter Berra on May 12, 1925, was a legendary American baseball player, coach, and manager. He spent the majority of his playing career as a catcher for the New York Yankees from 1946 to 1963. Berra was renowned for his exceptional hitting ability, defensive skills behind the plate, and colorful personality. He won 10 World Series championships as a player with the Yankees and was a three-time American League MVP. Berra is also remembered for his witty and often paradoxical quotes, known as "Yogi-isms," which have become part of baseball folklore. After retiring as a player, Berra had a successful career as a manager and coach, further solidifying his legacy in the sport. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1972. Yogi Berra passed away on September 22, 2015, but his impact on baseball remains enduring.

Don Larsen, born on August 7, 1929, was an American professional baseball pitcher who enjoyed a notable career spanning 15 seasons in Major League Baseball (MLB). Larsen is best known for his historic performance on October 8, 1956, when he pitched a perfect game in Game 5 of the World Series while playing for the New York Yankees against the Brooklyn Dodgers. This remains the only perfect game in World Series history and one of the most iconic moments in baseball. Larsen's achievement in the World Series solidified his place in baseball lore and earned him lasting recognition. Despite his notable accomplishment, Larsen's overall career statistics were modest, but his perfect game secured his legacy in baseball history. He passed away on January 1, 2020, leaving behind a lasting imprint on the sport.
