Page v Acknowledgments Working on this book has been a labor of love that I have shared with many people. My heartfelt thanks go to Don and Corrine Larsen, who trusted me to help tell their story. They are humble people who have become special friends. I also thank Donna Stouder, a gifted editor and writing partner who has become a reluctant baseball aficionado. And my lovely wife, Chris, who believed as I did that baseball fans all over the world should read about the miracle that occurred on October 8, 1956. I'm also appreciative of the efforts of Frank Weimann, the tireless literary agent who found a home for the book at Sagamore Publishing. Their group of literary specialists, including Peter Bannon, Mike Pearson, Susan McKinney, Michelle Dressen, Deborah Bellaire, Dave Kasel, and Russ Lake have been most supportive of the book. My thanks also go to Mark Alvarez and the Society of American Baseball Research (SABR) for not only including an article about Don Larsen in the 1996 edition of The National Pastime and for featuring a splendid portrait by Todd Reigle of Don on the cover. I also thank Ken Birkemeier, a diehard Reds fan who provided valuable input with regard to early drafts of the book. And the Baseball Hall of Fame for their assistance in providing statistics quoted in the text. My thanks also go to Hall of Fame broadcasters Vince Scully and Bob Wolff for their kindness. And to the irrepressible Yogi Berra for writing the foreword for this book. I also thank my four children, Kimberly, Kevin, Kent and Kyle for their love and support. And my loyal canine pals, Bach, Snickers, Peanut Butter, Shadow, White Sox and Reggie Miller for their early morning companionship. Above all, I thank the good Lord for watching over me. I truly believe I am the most blessed man on earth. Mark Shaw
