Which of two guys came from same small Calf. town & pitched perfect games for the same team? One continued until the 7th inning of his next start. This is easy.

Don Larsen I believe is the easy one....and then maybe Whitey Ford? David "Boomer" Wells was the other one. Pitched for the Yanks just like his hero Don Larson. (Who didn't know it was a PERFECT game until it was over & he was in the locker room.) Boomer was in MLB for about 18 years. He is a coach for his old HS team now. Boomer pitched for several teams before and after the Yankees, plus one return to the team.

Vandalia is a city in Fayette County, Illinois, United States, 69 miles (111 km) northeast of St. Louis, on the Kaskaskia River. From 1819 to 1839 it served as the state capital of Illinois. Vandalia was for years the western terminus of the National Road. Backed by a group of Springfield businessmen, which politician lobbied to have the State of Illinois Capital moved to Springfield?

I believe that he was the head lawyer for the Illinois Central RR. Future Top General of the Union Army, Geo McClellan was Pres of the I.C. at maybe the same time.
