[edit] Biographical Information
While playing for the Buffalo Bisons in 1952, Dick Marlowe threw a perfect game against the Baltimore Orioles. It was the first perfecto after the International League adopted its current name back in 1912. The next perfect game in the IL would not be for 48 more years, when Tomo Ohka performed the feat.
