- n a game in which a pitcher allows the opposing team no hits
- Don Larsen had pitched the first perfect major-league no-hitter in 34 years, and the first no-hitter-of any kind in World Series history.
- Monbouquette's no-hitter was the fourth in the major leagues this season.
- During the game, his Yankees teammates abided by the superstition that no one was to talk to the pitcher throwing a no-hitter, lest they would jinx the history unfolding before them.
