Detroit Pitcher Armando Gallaraga was one out away in the bottom of the ninth inning when he was up against Jason Donald. Jason Donald hit a ground ball and what seemed like the end of the game suddenly got a bad call and Donald was ruled safe. Gallaraga's perfect game was over.
The umpire is getting just ridiculed about the call and a few have even said that he did that to prevent Gallaraga from a perfect game. Sure it was a lousy call. It was clear that the perfect game should have been there. But umpires make mistakes. Jim Joyce felt lousy after he watched a replay about the play. He was crushed about costing him the perfect game. It shouldn't be made into a big deal.
