On August 23, 1957, Ángel Macías of Monterrey pitched a perfect game in the final of the Little League World Series in Williamsport. Excélsior calls it “el primer juego perfecto en una final” (the first perfect game in a final).
The team was received by President Eisenhower at the White House and later by President Adolfo Ruiz Cortines at the National Palace. When the boys came home to Monterrey, about 100,000 people filled the streets. Excélsior calls it “una fiesta que pocas veces se ha vuelto a ver” (a celebration rarely seen since).
