Jim Joyce Apologizes For The Call On Armando Galarraga's Perfect Game.
What a sad situation, but it's great to see that the umpire is taking responsibility
and the pitcher who was clearly robbed of one of the most prestigious and rare
records in professional sports.
Armando Galarraga loses his spot as one of only 20 people in history to pitch a
perfect game, but he goes down as having one of the greatest expressions of
patience and sportsmanship in the history of professional sports.
I don't know if it is possible, but I hope the league rescinds the call and gives him
the place in the record books he deserves.
If Jim Joyce defended his mistake I'd say the guy should be fired, but he clearly
feels horrible for the mistake he made. He will go down in history for making the
worst call in MLB history... that seems like punishment enough.
