On May 17, 1998, David Wells, the New York Yankees' left-handed pitcher threw a Perfect Game against the Minnesota Twins. A crowd of over 49,000 was present, nearly filling the stadium to capacity. A notable segment of the audience had been children attending the special Beanie Babies Day. Kids under the age of 14 had received a Valentino Beanie Baby along with a unique, numbered commemorative card.
