Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was one out away from pitching a perfect game when Jason Donald (27th batter) hit a ground ball to first base, umpire Jim Joyce calls him safe. Watch the video and you can see Joyce clearly makes a blown call and ruins Galarraga's perfect game vs Cleveland Indians.
They should have had to pull Leland off the field in handcuffs. He barely argued. Joyce should have had the nerve to reverse his call immediately. Or at least ask the other umpires what they saw. To just let the guy not earn the perfect game for the umpires pride is revolting.
