* Davis Wells pitches a "Perfect Game"
* New York Yankees MLB baseball pitcher 
* First Yankee since Don Larsen's famous one
* They unbelievably went to the same high school

This 92-page tabloid-sized newspaper has a full front page photo of Wells being carried off the field with a banner headline: "PERFECT!"Much, much more on the inside and back pages.
Great to have this report in a iconic New York City newspaper. Great condition.

Background: On May 17, 1998, David Wells etched his name into baseball immortality by pitching the 15th perfect game in Major League Baseball history, a 4–0 victory over the Minnesota Twins that serves as a crowning individual achievement of the legendary 114-win New York Yankees season. Dominating the mound at Yankee Stadium before a crowd of 49,820, Wells threw 120 pitches and recorded 11 strikeouts without allowing a single baserunner, punctuated by a flyout from Pat Meares to end the game. Beyond the statistical perfection, the event carries immense cultural and historical weight: it was the first regular-season perfect game by a Yankee since Don Larsen’s 1956 World Series masterpiece—a connection made more surreal by the fact that both men graduated from the same high school in San Diego—and it remains famously shrouded in "Boomer" lore due to Wells’ later admission that he was nursing a severe hangover during the performance. This blend of elite athletic precision, "Beanie Baby Day" nostalgia, and the raw, colorful personality of Wells solidified the game as a quintessential moment in the Yankees' late-90s dynasty, highlighting a rare instance where a flawed human performance achieved absolute sporting perfection.
