Rijo Is Pitcher Perfect
Kansas City Monarchs starter José Rijo was as good as a pitcher can be, as he hurled a perfect game against the Wandering House of David.

In doing so, Rijo accomplished one of the most difficult feats in baseball and one that will put his name in the record books.

"I can tell you I've dreamed about a day like this," Rijo told the press after the game. "Now that I've done it, the feeling is even better."

In his splendid 7-0 victory at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941, Rijo yielded no hits, walked none and had 12 strikeouts. In the historic outing he retired 27 successive batters.

In 4 starts this season, Rijo has recorded a 2-1 record and a 5.08 ERA.
