Poetry in Motion: Ball Pitches Perfect Game
One of the rarest feats in baseball occurred at Royals Ballpark: the perfect game.

Facing off against the Hoxie Scots, Geneva Greens hurler Bob Ball gave up no runs, no hits, no walks and saw no errors in the 2-0 victory.

"This was one of those games where a good athlete was on top of his game," said Geneva manager after the game. "He had a tremendous rhythm out there. His focus, his concentration, his stuff, everything was as good as it could possibly be."

Ball saw 27 batters and retired every one of them in order. He bewildered the Scots, striking out 4.

Late in the game, the right-hander sat by himself at one end of the dugout, staring at the ground. No one approached him, adhering to the baseball superstition that no one mention a no-hitter -- much less a perfect game -- until it is completed. When it was over, Ball gave a simple fist pump, while his teammates mobbed him and the fans gave a standing ovation.

"A game like this was special," Ball said. "It doesn't come along very often."
