  • jim joyce did his best don denkinger impression

  • this really made me sad, it almost made me wonder if he was actually an umpire.

  • LOL I am indians fan remember watching that game

  • im an indians fan and i felt terrible for the guy its like danm that is such a fail by the ump

  • The hit and the error were the same play. He was perfect until that point.

  • How would it be a perfect game if there was 1 error and 1 hit? Maybe a no hitter.

  • @codowner67 the indians had that error, it happened earlier in the game and the hit was the blown call.

  • thats sad cuz he actually was really out

  • i would like to have a should be no hitter more then a no hitter because halliday got the mound and a hug from there mascot galarraga got a corvett

  • what a bad ump

  • Laz diaz and Jim Joyce are the worst umpires

  • ok he was out but even if he was safe by a little they should of givin it 2 him

  • Hey don't blame just Jim Joyce. Bud Selig is a moron. Why can't he even reverse a call that wouldn't have changed the game result. Now, it costs a guy a perfect game.

  • @syzygy502 Impeach Selig!

  • in the rule book he is safe

  • @redsalute3 ... but in reality he's out

  • Bud selig had the chance to over rule the call but didnt, its more his fault than Joyce's

  • Why can't the AP show videos?

  • Everyone in here who thinks that it was a good call should be banned from ever watching baseball again. If not for blatant ignorant homerism, for complete stupidity.

  • Comment removed

  • he is safe!!

  • @TheGibby26 did you not hear jim joyce was umping?

  • @TheGibby26 LOL fucking troll

  • Pause video.

    Press and hold 5

    Play video still holding 5

  • If Galarraga was Lebron James, he would've given him the call

  • Ûhm_ÅNÿÕÑÉ_wÅÑnA_chAt_wÌth_mË_­Î_fëËl_so_lóñÉlY_tòDâÿ¤

  • @ renragged he was actually out.I watched that and on the replay he had control of the ball and had his foot on the base about a millisecond before the batter crossed.

  • I think it was the right call.  I was watching that game and I was like "Oh damn, he's safe! There goes his perfect game!" Not because the runner got there first, but because Armando Galarraga double clutched the ball. As if he didn't have control of it. Watch the video again people. I think Joyce made the right call. ThePattycake1313 must think I'm blind too. If so, I need to get a refund for my corrective eye surgery... :P

  • RACIST................

  • hey thepattycake1313. R u an indians fan because that is the worst call i hav ever seen in my life

  • I think it was great call. And beside, there was an error, and that means it was not perfect by the original standard anyway. So it was justice, and it was against the Indians, Go Tribe. Go Jim Joyce! Jim Joyce you deserve the fame, fame you never had before. Not since that evil umpire Joe Brinkman, no umpire is as well know as you. Keep up the good work and once again, go Tribe. 2012 World Champs! Trust me!

  • @ThePattycake1313 Braves fucking suck lol

  • @ThePattycake1313

    Are you fucking blind? No one who has vision could say that call was even close to correct!

  • @BillyzaCoon haha I respect the game and all but I agree I could've made that fuckin call

  • All I have to say is this .... everybody makes mistakes.

  • Instant replay you stupid fucks! This isn't 1920 anymore. Get with the times you morons.

  • He did make the wrong call but come on its not that easy to be an umpire

  • @MrXxburnxx No its not, I have been to the professional school for this and trying to make it in the minors

  • GUYS! Tired of shaky fan videos of this incedent? well i have the REAL broadcasted video of this on my channel. it's NOT a shaky fan video it's the REAL video of the WHOLE ninth inning of the Perfect Game. and it's on my channel. Search this on youtube: "crazygloo1000 Armando Galarraga" and the first result will be the video. It's got like 80 views which is strange cause its a GREAT video. Check it out it's GREAT!! If you could do me a favor, thumbs this up so the vid can b more popularTHANKS!

  • By all means the umpire told himself "This kid is going to have to earn it and then some if I have a say in it. He was determined to call him safe no matter what. He didn't want to be seen as an umpire who got caught up in the moment.

    And he blew it. Lets say he called him out and he was just safe. What bearing would that have on anything.  The game? The batter's average or opportunity to ever get a hit again. He not only blew the call - He blew history!

  • Went silent? Was I just imagining the boos and bullshit chant?

  • good hustle jason!!!

  • pause at 00:12 rhere holding hands

  • it was a shitty infield squibble with the circumstances if the guy was safe by three steps i wouldve called that fuker out he barely hit it 

  • @TheHighflyerz lol good eye

  • i was sitting right behind 1st base and i yelled out and than i keeped booing it was a cruecal game

  • i dont buy that shit that he REALLY thought he was safe. Thats a load of fuck a 7 year old could have called that.

  • he was out I looked at it 10 times.

  • Why is there an error on the scoreboard and a hit?

  • @Crash2515 Seriously? Are you seriously asking that question?

  • Secxggcddv

  • This umpire sucks really how is he safe unless you didn't want him to have a perfect game I'm a huge fan of the tigers and we were at the game and we saw from right field that he was out .ps how long has it been since you've been to the eye docter.

  • Hey this game inspired me to write a song called "Nobody's Perfect" A tribute song for Armando Gallarraga that is about asking Bud Selig to turn the call around. Let me know what you think. Video On my page!

  • #@$@%@%@#$#$C%@$%XCX@@#$%XC%@#­$X@#$@C#$@!#X#$@#$

  • Who Gives a Shit!? Galarraga and The Tigers suck!!

  • @hardcoremanny0822 they dont suck you dumb bitch, the only thing that sucks is your mom, who is currently on my dick

  • #@$@%@%@#$#$C%@$%XCX@@#$%XC%@#­$X@#$@C#$@!#X#$@#$

  • #@$@%@%@#$#$C%@$%XCX@@#$%XC%@#­$X@#$@C#$@!#X#$@#$

  • @BobIsBetterThanYou you're so full of shit. He was definitely out. You're either a duckin moron or blind.

  • #@$@%@%@#$#$C%@$%XCX@@#$%XC%@#­$X@#$@C#$@!#X#$@#$

  • I'm sure if we reviewed tape lots of baseball games would have missed calls, probably all of them, and even other perfect games. Its baseball. That's just the way it is. I'd much rather they fixed the stadiums so moronic fans couldn't interfere with the game.Fans changing the outcome of a game is the real maddening aspect that needs to be changed.

  • God the Indians suck!

  • OMG. HE WAS SAFE BY A MILE. THE UMP MADE THE RIGHT CALL. PEOPLE NEED TO SHUT UP.

  • there's no video in this video.

  • Obviously safe.

  • I feel bad for both the pitcher and the ump...

  • It dosent matter what team you like or hate. This kid almost had a perfect game, and probably wont have another chance. The ump made a bad call and admitted to it to come so close and lose it on the last out of the game you have to feel for him if you love the game of baseball.

  • Again I dont know wat game all u losers are watching but he was safe, and Jim Joyce's call couldn't have been more correct! Detroit tigers SUCK and he was SAFE!

  • @hesoutbyamile1 get a pair of fucking glasses and look at the replay you stupid fuck.

  • the ump did this to be shocking and to go down in history. I can't name another umpire but now we all recognize him.

  • There is no excuse for incompetence. That call was totally unacceptable period.

  • @vadujar Amen to that.

  • He made a bad call, deal with it.

    Go Twins!!!!!!

  • just another 4 replay

  • what makes this suck even more is that Galarraga is a classy guy.

  • bullshit, there's no excuse for an umpire to call the runner safe. The runner was about 4 feet from the bag and was well within the view of the umpire, who should called him out. this is unacceptable, the fans are paying for correct calls, this idiot umpire should consider retirement if he can't see 5 feet. The replay clearly shows that the ump was looking at the bag, when he should have been looking at the ball, then the bag. i care less what you umpire supporters say, human error my ass.

  • LOL. thats funny. Go Tribe!

  • Everyone who is complaining about him making this bad call, just to let everyone know, he's a human, and we makes mistakes just like you and i. Yes, it was horrific and costed a perfect game, but cut him some slack, he admitted to his mistakes.

  • dude i saw the replay, that guy was safe. tie goes to the runner

  • @smokedaddyo there was no tie dipshit. there was a whole stride distrance from when the ball went in the pitcher's glove and the pitcher's foot hit the base

  • @rockboy679 it was a joke toughguy. deep breath.....

  • They should really just give the poor guy the perfect game. The umpire fucked up, but he admitted it. Just give the guy a perfect game.

  • bud selig wont give galarraga the perfect game cause it didnt change the outcome of the game, the bottom line is that the tigers won but i do have two words for selig for next season.... INSTANT REPLAYS!!

  • @fadi2hotty81 Agreed

  • My brother, my sister, JESUS CHRIST LOVES YOU. He loves you, friend. He loves you. Seek Him in spirit and in truth, in spirit because He is a Spirit, in truth because it is the truth that His Spirit lives in you and you are being saved by His work of love alone,

    having been redeemed and washed clean by the blood of Jesus. Approach the King boldly- we call Him Abba. He already knows, and He loves you.

  • @strikerfcc Abba! I thought the bible hated dancing queens?

  • @strikerfcc My dimwit, Jesus is a myth, much like Santa and Batman.

    Your beliefs are retarded. Give me head, and I'll drop the whole thing. lol

  • @castletriglav jesus actually lived, whether or not he was the son of god thats for everyone to decide for themselves. but the romans and the jews (neither group believed he was the son of god btw) both recorded the execution of jesus. Santa Claus is based on a real person, Saint Nicholas, so the comparison is valid there, but batman doesnt fit into this at all.

  • the three most hated things in the U.S right now are this umpire, BP, and Arizona :D

  • @comatarmsFTW too bad more americans favor the immigration law than oppose it. nice try though

  • 0:38 Is that... is that George W. Bush???

  • who the fuck cares. a blown call is part of sports. stop fucking crying and man up.

    remember when brett hull's goal won the stanley cup for the dallas stars who beat the sabres? guess what? that goal that gave the stars the stanley cup shouldn't have been a goal because his skate was in the crease. it's part of fucking sports.

    i'm sure he'll forget about it real soon when he sees his next paycheck.

  • @blue4blu No....... just no.... Fist perfect game in Tiger history >paycheck.

    stop talking your dumb as hell

  • i wud be so fucking pissed. tht is a once and a life time opportunity and someone else fucked it up. its not like they got a legit hit off of galarraga

  • For the first time in a while, that I have seen, An Umpires reaction is right AND the Teams response is correct as well - To Bad the League Missed the chance to follow suit - Everyone knows that the call was a mistake and all involved have admitted so and been true Men of the Game about it - EXCEPT for The League, they on the other hand had the chance to make it right and FAILED. Although they did say this is more evidence for Instant Replay. Over 15 years and counting !!

  • @Cmokey1 My cock, your ass. The storage room in 10 minutes.

  • I have watched several videos related to this incident. By far it should not be referred to as the worst call in sports history but the best sportsmanship in sports history. We all are human and we all make mistakes. This mistake unfortunately is public and takes from a great pitcher a remarkable record. I give great respect to both the pticher and the umpire! I pray that my son develops the same level of sportsmanship. We need to see this type of behavior more often in professional sports.

  • @dawnrw09 Amen and Peace man(seriously)

  • @dawnrw09 nice comment man

  • @dawnrw09 I don't care if you have watched 300 videos related to this incident. There have been 20 perfect games in Major League Baseball since 1880. You expect the 9 guys on the field (especially the pitcher) to just chalk it up to the human condition? They played perfectly for 9 innings, and deserve to be awarded so. You're either not an athlete, or have your head well up your ass, because anyone who has played baseball or doesn't have shit in their ears sees this as a major failure.

  • @dawnrw09 nicely said man, I thought exactly the same way

  • @dawnrw09 Video Replay.

  • @dawnrw09 spoken like one that is not a follower of the tigers

  • @dawnrw09 i agree with u 100% and i hope for the same one day... but i really think that has to be one of the worst calls of the SEASON (not of all time... theres been alot worse) i got really pissed at it cuz i was watching the game... just after my Seattle Mariners lost (again)... im glad it was resolved and the umpire admitted to the mistake after the game, but would have been better if he relised it after he made the call

  • @dawnrw09 Well said

  • @dawnrw09 this is true, but this is a clear example of why baseball needs video replay.

  • Everybody makes mistakes.

  • It was a perfect game. Everyone on the field handled the mistake like professionals.

  • fuck you tom its tube your amotherfuckin bitch the kinda dude that holds the world back because u are a fuckin racist in accusing another just because he made a bad call. stupidest shit i ever seen someone say..

  • jim joyce will be forever known as the racist ump who denied a venezualan ballplayer a perfect game. leave it this way. armando and joyce are both more famous for the same pathetic reason arizona is discriminating. is jim joyce related to jan brewer?

  • @tomitstube

    A racist umpire? Seriously? He's racist now?

    Arizona is kicking a bunch of criminals that keep breaking the law out. Wah.

  • @UFCNFLjunkie

    So is Massachusetts :)

    People are starting to wake up

  • @UFCNFLjunkie ~ what do mean "he's racist now", you think it happens overnight? so being an immigrant makes you a criminal? better send your ass back to where you came from, criminal.

  • @tomitstube

    Once again, another moron that loves to leave off the all important 'illegal' off of illegal immigrant. So yes, they are criminals because they are here illegally. Easier for you to follow this time?

    Also, claiming this ump is racist is based on what? The ump's race? Because the ump is white, you claim he is racist because the mistake happened to a person that's not white. So he's racist because he's white. Mind as well admit, YOU are the racist. But you're not smart enough.

  • @UFCNFLjunkie ~ you're a simpleton. the people on the mayflower were "illegal", the difference now is they're mexican. you're here illegally too. and most likely a racist as well. so you're argument is because the ump IS white, he can't possibly be racist? immigration could be solved easily but racist america refuses to address the need and use of it's immigrant workforce. i simply refuse to bury my head in the sand.

  • @tomitstube "holding back his racism" ? What the hell does that even mean? What are you 12?

  • @bhayes0175 ~ you misquoted me, maybe that's why you're confused.

  • what a motherfu..........

  • I realize everyone makes mistakes and bad calls to do that is one thing,but to make that mistake that could set a record is another.I do not feel for the ump at all that was a crucial game and he just plain fukt it up. I'm glad he's recieving death threats and what not maybe it'll make him actually open his eyes next time he makes a call.

  • They can either reverse the call, or just make the play an error and give him a no hitter.

  • it sucks to be that umpire!

  • boycott baseball and all products until bud selig grows a pair and announces moving the 2011 allstar game from phoenix. armando galarraga is venezualan and could be detained and deported from arizona. the law is racist.  bud selig says he supports latinos in mlb, who make up 1/3 of the league. until he puts mlb's money where his mouth is, it's just a bunch of hot air.

  • @tomitstube you sir, are an idiot

  • @bhayes0175 ~ nah, just reading between the lines. the ump couldn't hold back his racism making the call. it wasn't even close.

  • The umpire saw what he wanted to see. No way someone named Armando was going to get in the baseball history books. Nothing close about the call. You are out by 15 inches, you are out by a mile.

  • Replay. It's been done before. NY v Cleveland, wasn't it, back in the day?

  • @KingKmoney1 So we're spamming random videos now? How sad.

  • since they cant go back and officially change the call, whats done is done. the ump better call it quits he is so done after what he did

  • @aofoyayo Actually the commissioner of baseball CAN review and change the call if he wants to, he just said he wouldn't.

  • Jim Joyce is my neighbor!

  • @3fatpanda CAN YOU DO ME A FAVOR AND STAB THAT RETARDED UMP

  • This obsession with the virtue of the umpire's call is ridiculous. We are told we must accept the call, when really what we should be accepting is a new insight (slow mo footage) into reality. What is life without the truth?The guy was out, the ump admits this... in no other aspect of life would we allow that truth to be buried under some medieval preoccupation with the wisdom of human vision

  • @diverdan00 except for the fact that it's all a game and in the end really isn't all that important. Yeah, it's a rare achievement (except for recently), but c'mon...it's a game. He can still say he got it anyway.

  • I was listening to the game on XM. the win felt like a lost after this bad call.

  • We keep track of errors in the scorecard. Why can't we also add Umpires Errors as well?

  • im actually an indians fan but as i was watching this on tv i started cheering for galarraga because i really wanted to witness a perfect game. oh well. im gonna go see stephen strasburg pitch against them june 13th so i guess theres a chance

  • obv he was crying he was getting death threats.. even his son was getting death threats

  • bad call is bad call, but the director refuses to give him credit for a perfect game which i find fucking idiotic.

  • Who cares id rather have a free corvette and know I got a perfect game over having it on paper.

  • Even though it's not officially in the record books. This is still chalked up as a perfect game in my book.

  • It just had to be the very last out too. If that play would have happened in the first or second inning people would have probably forgot about it

  • It was not an obvious call. It was very close and the first baseman poped the ball out of his glove to get a better grip on the ball the moment of the play. He could have been save - or out. the first baseman made it look safe.

  • I feel SO bad for gallarraga! that was just a mistake but still... jee whiz

  • hes out by a mile! I don"t know what you're all watching but he was safe!

  • @hesoutbyamile1 If you think he was safe, you just love to chose sides, because that was FAR from safe.... even the umpire feels like shit

  • fuck you coach american

  • The smirk he gave to the ump right after the call was epic!

  • Galarraga handled the whole situation very well.

  • stfu to all the ppl who want him to lose his job. the real person who needs to lose his job is bud selig for not allowing challenges. we all make mistakes. sure, if i was the pitcher i would want to rip his nuts off but its just as much pressure for the umps to call the play as it is for the players to make it. it was a bad call but i bet if he was out and if he was called safe u guys wouldnt bitch as much. btw im not related to the ump i just feel for him. lol

  • bad calls will always happen once we remain humans

  • @israelontenor 'bad calls will ALWAYS happen ONCE we REMAIN humans'?

    What?

  • @Deterodae He is just saying, humans make mistakes, and as long as we ARE humans, we will always make mistakes.

  • @triplev789 Oh, I knew what he was saying, I was just insulting his grammar.

  • He's gotten more for not getting a perfect game then he would have.

  • of course this would only happen to Detroit

  • Joyce apologized hes a stand up guy, now lets focus our anger on the idiot ump "cowboy" joe west.

  • Lame duck commissioner Stephen Hawkin I mean Bud Selig should have overturned this call!

  • Thumbs ^up^ if you like MW2 and want Any Prestige, Any Exp, Any Kill/Death Count, And the ability to edit classes ( like a golden shotgun and shit like that )

    /watch?v=nsiJGNjKNw0

    Btw those umpires are GYP!

  • Armando Galarraga had a good attitude after this. After all he could have (or possibly have if they decide to reverse the call) made history.

  • the tigers are faggits anyway

  • @amicusnemini dont hate dude.. Tigers are the shit.
