DAILY NEWS, New York City, May 18, 1998

• 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 48-page tabloid-sized newspaper has a unusual foldout front page which includes the front and back leafs of this issue.
The headline reads: "PERFECT GAME!" in bold letters within a photo of David Wells being carried off the field after the game. Very nice for display. Much more inside. Great to have in this popular NYC publication. Nice 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.
