““I’m auctioning the uniform to provide my grandsons with enough money for a college education,” Larsen, 82, said Friday in a telephone interview from his home in Hayden Lake, Idaho. “What the uniform actually sells for is not that important to me; whatever happens, happens. I’m just hoping for enough to help the grandkids.””

- Don Larsen, the only pitcher to throw a perfect game in a World Series, is putting his jersey from that magical 1956 game up for bid so he can help his grandsons pay for college.

““I don’t want my son to play football. I play football so he won’t have to. With what is going on, I don’t know if it’s really worth it.

I don’t want to have to deal with him getting a concussion and what it would be like later in life.””

“The math is still complicated for a team that lost $121 million over the last two seasons. But if the Los Angeles Dodgers could find a way to give Matt Kemp an eight-year deal before they were sold, and small-market teams like Cincinnati and Milwaukee could reach long-term agreements with cornerstones like Joey Votto and Ryan Braun, the Mets can do the same with Wright.”

“A decade ago, out of baseball following Tommy John surgery and cash-strapped, Byrdak was working the overnight shift restocking the sales floor at a Target in Chicago. He then would drive 30 minutes and sleep in his car in his in-laws’ driveway for an hour. A wakeup call in the form of a knock on the window from his father-in-law would ensue and they would get started on morning installation work until midday.

Now, Byrdak has become one of the driving forces behind the Mets’ early-season success.”
