Jim Joyce, you're screwed.

I still can't believe that call. That has got to be the worst call of all time.

Replays appeared to show that the call was incorrect, and that Donald had in fact been out at first.[1]

Tigers' color commentators said that "The Tigers' fans have been cheated out of the greatest pitching experience in Tiger history."[2] A perfect game by Galarraga would have been a set Major League record of three perfect games in twenty-three days.

I'm actually amazed Wikipedia got it so fast.

That is pretty amazing.

Poor guy. Been an ump since '89 and will forever be remembered as the guy who cost Galarraga a perfect game.

If he admits he made a mistake can we retroactively award him the perfect game? -CSM

It'd be unprecedented, but damn, I'm sure everyone would be happier if they did.

I still can't believe he ruined it. It will go down as a 28 up 28 down perfect game!
