Remembering Don Larsen and Whitey Ford

Caught Listening continues it's "In Memoriam" series by remembering the life and legacy of two legends of the game who passed away in 2020. Don Larsen and Whitey Ford are synonamous with the New York Yankees franchise but their lives and statsheets could not be more different.

Helping us remember these two giants of baseball, and the differences between them, is longtime New York Times sports columnist George Vescey. From how Larsen's perfect game in the World Series defined his career, to his military career before making the Majors, George helps expand on the life and career of Larsen. As a man who covered Ford during his career in Pinstripes, Vescey reminisces on the man known as "The Chariman of the Board" and his impact on one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the world.

Vescey also answers the question of who now holds the title of "Greatest Living Yankee" after the passing of Ford. Be sure to search "Caught Listening by Public House Media" on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram to be a part of our next episode. You can also email the show at [e-mail]
