Last night, Armando Galarraga of the Detroit Tigers took a perfect game into the ninth and with two outs, induced the batter to ground out to first. But the umpire blew the call costing Galarraga his rightful place in baseball history.
This unfortunate human error has created a firestorm of outrage, demands for instant replay, an obscenity laced self-indictment from the umpire Jim Joyce who blew the call, and a gracious reaction from Galarraga who hugged Joyce.
I have a different reaction...
