Until 2010, Larsen's perfect game was the only no-hitter ever thrown in postseason baseball history.
This photo shows Berra jumping into Larsen's arms moments after pinch hitter Dale Mitchell struck out to end the game.
The vintage black and white photo comes double matted in a classy black frame and includes an engraved nameplate with remarks about the historic game and a quote from Larsen.
