Then his parents deliver the news "on the order of a cure for polio": Don Larsen--a New York Yankee!--is his cousin once removed. The kid and the star trade letters, they meet, and Hoose gains courage and acceptance. When Larsen throws his iconic perfect game in the World Series that October, "even a few girls came over" to the boy's desk.
