"Don pitched the greatest game in baseball history during the 1956 World Series. In the fifth game, he took the mound and hurled nine perfect innings- nobody reached first base- 27 men up, 27 men down. It was the only no-hitter in Series play and the first perfect game since 1922.
In the regular season, Don placed seventh in earned run average and fifth in won-lost percentage."
-1957 Topps No. 175
