Armando Galarraga Perfect Game Blown By Umpire Jim Joyce With a Blown Call

Armando Gallarraga Perfect Game Blown by Umpire Armando Galarraga was one out away from the third perfect game of 2010 and the second in less than a week, but a blown call by first base umpire Jim Joyce cost him immortality.

After retiring the first 26 batters in succession, Indians shortstop Jason Donald was called safe on an ground ball to first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Replays showed that Galarraga clearly beat Donald to the bag while receiving Cabrera's toss, but Joyce made an emphatic safe call, to the dismay of the entire Tigers team and the fans at Comerica Park.

Despite the call, Galarraga finished with the first complete game and first shutout of his career -- a one-hitter -- as the Tigers beat the Indians, 3-0, in the second of three games.

Miguel Cabrera's solo shot in the second inning was all Detroit needed to post its eighth home win over Cleveland in the last nine tries. Galarraga (2-1) needed only 88 pitches in the masterpiece, nearly the Tigers' first perfect game in the team's illustrious history.

Why would you make this video when you can't pronounce Armando Galarraga? Fucking idiot you can't even talk you're trying to say everything 100 miles per hour. Slow the fuck down. Also shut the fuck up.

@critter2 Fuck off this asshole set up everything to trick people into giving him views and it almost always works but you're going to make everyone hate you. You don't get to trick people without pissing everyone off. That is how it works. Fuck you critter2 and especially fuck you Kyle Boland (piece of shit).

[critter2]
