@@chichiposada3373 Actually Detroit gave up 2 walks & Indians gave up 5 walks I believe. Being a lifetime Tiger fan I remember both those games very well.
God this actually gets to me emotionally. Imagine being in Galarraga’s position, having played to the very best of your capabilities that you’ll ever achieve in the sport you love and having an incredible accomplishment being taken away from you by someone else’s mistake, but having the mental strength and fortitude to smile, forgive, and move on. That’s incredible. A true sportsman move by every definition of the word.
Galarraga understands that, at the end of the day, it really is just a game. Yes, baseball is more than *just* a game, but it is just a *game.* Life will go on, with or without it.
I get what you're saying, but I actually think that this whole incident elevated Galarraga. If Joyce gets that call right, Galarraga is Dallas Braden - a below average pitcher who captured lightning in a bottle for one night and etched his name in the record book as a one-hit wonder. Instead, his name has an even greater foothold in baseball history and not only is he remembered for a single great outing, he's also remembered as a class act and stand-up human being.
It's too bad, because Jim Joyce is actually a great umpire, but that one call at first base will overshadow his and Galarraga's entire careers forever.
Armando Galarraga will be remembered in baseball history even more so now. His career wasnt overshadowed, it was illuminated. Everyone knows he pitched a perfect game, and because of the blown call it gets elevated to a level of fame that surpasses most perfect games. Jim Joyce is constantly voted as the best umpire in baseball by the players on the official league survey. He made a mistake, as humans do, and he apologized like a man. He cared enough to cry over it. Anyone out there who calls him "scum" or demeans him over a blown call is a horrible person, and probably a colossal hypocrite who has made plenty of mistakes in their life that they have been forgiven for.
The way Armando reacted and the way coach Jim Leyland created this powerful moment to show the world that everybody makes a mistake, this is the most ‘perfect’ game in my memory
Huge respect for Jim Joyce. He made a mistake. He's human. And he stood tall and admitted that he made a mistake and apologized for it and showed real human emotion for how his call affected that game. What more could he do?
The only way JJ fucked that call up SOOOO badly is that he had it in his mind, from before the play started, that he was going to call safe if it was close. He was saying "don't just give it to him, I'm not scared to call safe." He's a top-notch asshole.
Its easy for us to criticize these officials when we get to see 10 different views on replay, in slow motion... Did he get the call wrong? Obviously, and nobody is more upset about it than he is...
Sachin Nair Tough to say it's "the" reason. It's that type of call that causes it though. But independent of circumstances, the worst call I've ever seen was the 1996 Jeffery Maier home run (which is one of the reasons home run replay was implemented).
Both of them handled the situation in about the most mature way they could have. It’s unfortunate it’s a career defining mistake for Joyce, it’s unfortunate Galarraga didn’t get to be one of only 24 perfect games in MLB history.
@@bankshot4192 This is a footnote in Joyce's career. Galarraga was fighting for a spot in the lineup at the time, it would have been a HUGE boost to his career. Instead, you give this another 10 years or so, most people will have forgotten about him and the game. It will be an obscure trivia question somewhere down the road instead of him being able to put his name among the 21 other pitchers in 119 years who have thrown a perfect game. Joyce is a stand up guy for apologizing, but lets not pretend these sacrifices are equivalent.
i blame MLB. if replay was a rule during that season(the technology was indeed in place), the call is reversed and everybody goes home happy. instead, you have stubborn MLB personnel making the rules that hardly get the call correct. all the fans want is for the call to be correct. Joyce and Gallarraga deserved better
I still look back on this and think what a bad thing to happen to a couple of great guys but damn did they give us a lesson in humility and respect in the aftermath. Love to see this kind of emotion from an umpire.
@@IbelieveinGod483 He did. Armando forgave him and they wrote a book together. Two years later, Joyce saved a life at a baseball game because he knew CPR and gave it to a waitress who had suffered a heart attack.
You keep saying Humans makes mistakes, but what a I don't understand is why didn't the MLB review the replay and reverse that call, who was the commissioner of Baseball at that time and why didn't review the tapes which clearly shows that Andres pitched a perfect game, the new commissioner should step in and overturn that decision and give Andres that perfect game which he rightfully deserves.
Jim Joyce is one of the greatest umpires the sport has ever seen and his willingness to face a mistake and will past us a testament to what a great *person* he is as well.
I think this is part of why Jim is remembered as being such a great umpire despite that call. He has humanity. He knew he got it wrong, he admitted it, he cried on television in front of the world for it...and not in a “Look at me! Feel bad for me!” sort of way. In an understated, trying to hide it, humbled sort of way. THAT’S a good umpire. Someone who takes his job seriously, understands the consequences of his performance and knows that it’s about more than just him. People from all walks of life can learn a lesson from that attitude.
I give Joyce credit for showing up the next day and dealing with it. He didn't hide or ask to be taken off the crew. He faced his mistake in front of everyone. Blown call of the year for sure but he still showed some class with how he handled it.
That's not the point everyone knows but there will be no record of that which is really sad, the new Commissioner should step in and overturn that ruling and give Andres that perfect game, who will remember that after thirty forty years from now, no one, unless his name is in the record book.
@@joeylee9809 oh I think people will always remember. Look at the 1986 World Series. More people remember game 6 and Bill Buckner than game seven and what even happened in that game.
I can't imagine what Jim Joyce felt when he thought he got the call right to watch it afterwards to find out he got it completely wrong both of these gentlemen are stand-up characters
He may be an awesome umpire but one terrible call ruined it for all time, a lot fans might forgive him but as for me I will never forgive him for ruining Andres Galarraga and his perfect game
Galarraga is more infamous for his 'should-have-been' Perfect Game instead of actually getting one. Everyone will remember him forever because of this, but I'm willing to bet most people can't name half the pitchers who have thrown Perfect Games.
that's why the tiger organization decided to do this. They knew that it would be a show of class and empathy, and also be something for the history books. And teach people that it's okay to make mistakes, that you can be forgiven. And it's only just a game anyway
F for Jim Joyce, he knows what he did, it’s called a mistake, we are all humans, we all make them, but he still went out there and took it. He cried. Yeah. It takes a real man to show your emotions in front of millions of people
Give Galarraga some credit, too. If that happened to some of the pitchers today, they would’ve thrown a fit-possibly breaking stuff in the dugout, getting in the umps face, throwing his glove, etc. Galarraga just put on a frustrated smile and took it.
If you throw a fit over a personal achievement when your team wins, you're not a true professional and I wouldn't want you on my team. If you throw a fit over something that affects the team winning or losing, sure go ahead
Ever since this day I have never forgotten the name armando Gallaraga. He is more famous to me that many others. This was the most epic baseball fail in my life
Everyone is calling him a class act for that mistake, but as for me I see it as a terrible call that will go down in history that robbed a pitcher of a perfect game.
That's the human aspect of baseball. Just like even the best hitters strike out at crucial times, the best pitchers groove one over the plate, the best umpires blow a call. And it sticks not because it's a bad call, but because of the circumstances.
I've tried everything else.. if anyone else hears the song playing in the background of Jim Joyce walking out can they tell me it? I've heard it throughout my life and never been able to put a name to it. Thanks to whoever, whenever, figures this out
From am European fan, this is awesome, the umpire's emotions are true and that's classy, not to mention the pitcher Galarraga (what a MAN). And I have to say Galarraga's must be the most remembered Perfect G since it was a 28 out PG. This has become one of my favourite sports moments ever.
I first saw Joyce behind the plate during a game between the Braves and Yankees (I'm a Braves fan), and what got my attention was his strike call. I thought of Joyce as a really good umpire then, but what he did after that blown call made me like him even more.
To be honest. I think this controversy is more a historic moment then him throwing a perfect game. I mean this whole thing is such a great moment because the pitcher has such class to him. Alot of other pitchers would have held a grudge there entire life certainty the whole team did but Galarraga looked like he forgave the umpire the minute he got screwed my him.
And you will never see Andres name in the record book for a perfect game, everyone says baseball is the only sport with no video review which is really sad.
Joyce is a great ump and good man. So is Galarraga. Joyce was also the ump in the Cardinals / Red Sox world series who made the tough and correct call regarding interference at 3rd base which allowed Craig to score the winning run. Talk about split seconds to make a call like that.
This is the thing I love about baseball, it's just classy, passionate, but always classy. Yeah, they do exist rivalry's but the stadiums are always family-friendly. God, I love this sport.
I understand people make mistakes, but when it is THAT CLOSE, close enough for the you to hesitate before making the call, just give the guy the perfect game.
Deberían tomarlo como juego perfecto porque si lo fue, lastima que no se había implementado la repetición instantánea en ese momento aún, para mi será juego perfecto
The game was still historic. It was a complete game shutout. And honestly, of all the perfect games that have occurred, that’s the one (even though it’s unofficial) I remember by far the most.
that's right unofficial and you will never see that in the record books, I believe that all perfect games are sent to cooper's town and you will never see Andres name there
The problem with that is now you're setting a precedent that shouldn't be there. Yes he made the wrong call, yes the commissioner has the authority to overturn the call, but they did the right thing not doing so. If replay was available, then yes they would have reversed it
I ran into him a few years ago I think right after he retired from baseball and he was at one of my little league games and he was super cool with it and offered me a ice pack for my thigh when I was hit by a pitch
I am an umpire and I've done exactly what Jim Joyce did that day. It's simply intellectual/physical dyslexia. You know what you want to say (and do) but the opposite happens. It's like saying "take a left" when you're driving but actually mean take a right. Baseball fans have the longest memories and NO baseball fan will ever forget that he pitched a perfect game and the best umpire in baseball made a mistake and then stood up like a man and admitted it.
I'm not speaking for MLB, just college and below. You are allowed to overturn a call, but it is better that you consult with your partner and then overturn it, even if YOU knew you were wrong. (I was aware that I made an incorrect call) At that point the manager that the call went against will come out demanding an explanation. Be prepared to give it to him. Say you consulted with the plate umpire who had a different angle and confirmed that the call was wrong. For the most part as long as it isn't a game changing play (as this was) you'll hear some grousing from the bench but for the most part, it really isn't that important. It's usually at first base and the two times I've done it in 3 years, it never affected the game.
I actually did it recently with my assigner (my boss) who was working the plate. There was a gorund ball to third, and I was moving form the third base side to the first base side, it was a very close play but just a s I got to my position, I realized I was still moving. I got distracted. The runner was out and I made the out mechanic and yelled "Safe". I simply said "Time. That was my mistake. The runner was out" and made the out mechanic. I pointed to the plate umpire and said "Mark"--he confirmed "The runner is out". That was it. The coach at first base (who knew the runner was out said "I prefer the first call" and I said "Sorry. Situational dyslexia" Not was word was said to me by anyone or my assigner. Forget about it. Players make errors, umpires make mistakes.
Yeh fucking truth is he knew he fucked up immediately.. like Dana here says but he didn't own up to it immediately. He should've stopped play. Instead he still says to this day he thought he made the right call... he's lying to himself
Your statement is inadmissible in court because you can't testify as to how someone else is feeling at any given time. Go back to umpiring your fixed games
1:48 what is Miggy doing? its a routine grounder to 2nd base. obviously a blown call - but he made the call tougher by making it a toss to the running pitcher
I've been umpiring for nearly 30 years and I think I understand the mindset that caused Jim Joyce to make that bad call. When an umpire realizes he is in a situation like that, a possible no-hitter or perfect game, he often says to himself, "Just call it like you see it. Don't change anything. It's just a regular ballgame. It's not your job to do anybody any favors or help anybody out. It's up to the players, not you." It can cause you to go the *opposite* way on a call. You subconsciously overcompensate.
As a regular baseball fan (Go Braves!), I've read a few umpire forums and I've learned that one of the most important things is to stick by your calls and don't allow the circumstances to cause you to change them. That being said, I think that Joyce did the right thing by admitting his mistake. It doesn't matter what call an ump makes; someone is going to be upset by it. Umpires are people too and Joyce knew what was on the line. A good umpire stands by his calls but if he really feels afterward that he messed up, he tries to rectify it without compromising/undermining his integrity and authority on the field. Jim Joyce showed us that it is possible to do that.
@@mikeprevost8650 That's true - but that was in the days before slow motion instant replay where an umpire could get away with it. Nowadays, if an umpire "helps" a player it would take away from that player's achievement in a way that he would not have in the bygone days. Your observation about the last pitch in the Don Larsen perfect game is correct; yet, hardly anybody ever talks about that. It was the only perfect game ever to be thrown in a World Series - end of story.
You gotta respect his sorrow. He knew he messed up big and he knew what he had to do. Mad respect for Jim. Respect to Armando as well, if an ump got that call wrong for me I would have gotten so mad but Armando kept his cool.
If it's any consolation to Gala, it may not be in the history books, but he'll forever be known as the guy who threw a 28-out perfect game.
Yea
He’s the only pitcher in history to get retire 28 batters in a row
John Means recorded 28 (dropped third strike)

Deberían tomarlo como juego perfecto porque si lo fue, lastima que no se había implementado la repetición instantánea en ese momento aún, para mi será juego perfecto

In 15 years I won’t remember Dallas Braden’s PG. but I’ll remember this
Both handled it perfectly!
Honestly for Galarraga looking back this is probably more memorable than actually just throwing a perfect game.
画に描いたような漫画の中のヒーローのようなスポーツ選手の鑑
The game was still historic. It was a complete game shutout. And honestly, of all the perfect games that have occurred, that’s the one (even though it’s unofficial) I remember by far the most.
that's right unofficial and you will never see that in the record books, I believe that all perfect games are sent to cooper's town and you will never see Andres name there
審判の人が涙を拭ってるのが泣けるよなぁ。
前日の試合が終わってからもめちゃめちゃ辛かったんだろうなって見てしまう。
What happened ?
Total class all the way around.
It was the last out. MLB should've expunged the next at bat, changed the call, and given Galaraga the Perfect Game.
The problem with that is now you're setting a precedent that shouldn't be there. Yes he made the wrong call, yes the commissioner has the authority to overturn the call, but they did the right thing not doing so. If replay was available, then yes they would have reversed it
Not happening until whoever becomes the new MLB Commissioner has the balls to overturn Jim Joyce's call on Andres Galerraga's perfect game.
They talk about the umpire, but they never said anything about Galarraga and his reaction, what he did was amazing, a gentleman.
I ran into him a few years ago I think right after he retired from baseball and he was at one of my little league games and he was super cool with it and offered me a ice pack for my thigh when I was hit by a pitch
Beautiful
It's on the league for not having video review at the time. Umpires are human, will make errors. No replay made these incidents unavoidable.
I would’ve despised Jim Joyce for the rest of my life, until I heard that he owned up to it
Class all around.
I am an umpire and I've done exactly what Jim Joyce did that day. It's simply intellectual/physical dyslexia. You know what you want to say (and do) but the opposite happens. It's like saying "take a left" when you're driving but actually mean take a right. Baseball fans have the longest memories and NO baseball fan will ever forget that he pitched a perfect game and the best umpire in baseball made a mistake and then stood up like a man and admitted it.
Are you allowed to accidentally call it safe but then change your mind and call it out within a split second of time?
I'm not speaking for MLB, just college and below. You are allowed to overturn a call, but it is better that you consult with your partner and then overturn it, even if YOU knew you were wrong. (I was aware that I made an incorrect call) At that point the manager that the call went against will come out demanding an explanation. Be prepared to give it to him. Say you consulted with the plate umpire who had a different angle and confirmed that the call was wrong. For the most part as long as it isn't a game changing play (as this was) you'll hear some grousing from the bench but for the most part, it really isn't that important. It's usually at first base and the two times I've done it in 3 years, it never affected the game.
I actually did it recently with my assigner (my boss) who was working the plate. There was a gorund ball to third, and I was moving form the third base side to the first base side, it was a very close play but just a s I got to my position, I realized I was still moving. I got distracted. The runner was out and I made the out mechanic and yelled "Safe". I simply said "Time. That was my mistake. The runner was out" and made the out mechanic. I pointed to the plate umpire and said "Mark"--he confirmed "The runner is out". That was it. The coach at first base (who knew the runner was out said "I prefer the first call" and I said "Sorry. Situational dyslexia" Not was word was said to me by anyone or my assigner.
Forget about it. Players make errors, umpires make mistakes.
Yeh fucking truth is he knew he fucked up immediately.. like Dana here says but he didn't own up to it immediately. He should've stopped play. Instead he still says to this day he thought he made the right call... he's lying to himself
Your statement is inadmissible in court because you can't testify as to how someone else is feeling at any given time. Go back to umpiring your fixed games
1:48 what is Miggy doing? its a routine grounder to 2nd base. obviously a blown call - but he made the call tougher by making it a toss to the running pitcher
Class act Galarraga. Real tough thing for both parties. I get it Joyce is human but there is no way replays shouldn't have been going in since the 80s
I've been umpiring for nearly 30 years and I think I understand the mindset that caused Jim Joyce to make that bad call. When an umpire realizes he is in a situation like that, a possible no-hitter or perfect game, he often says to himself, "Just call it like you see it. Don't change anything. It's just a regular ballgame. It's not your job to do anybody any favors or help anybody out. It's up to the players, not you." It can cause you to go the *opposite* way on a call. You subconsciously overcompensate.
As a regular baseball fan (Go Braves!), I've read a few umpire forums and I've learned that one of the most important things is to stick by your calls and don't allow the circumstances to cause you to change them. That being said, I think that Joyce did the right thing by admitting his mistake. It doesn't matter what call an ump makes; someone is going to be upset by it. Umpires are people too and Joyce knew what was on the line. A good umpire stands by his calls but if he really feels afterward that he messed up, he tries to rectify it without compromising/undermining his integrity and authority on the field. Jim Joyce showed us that it is possible to do that.
The called strike three that was the last out of Don Larsen's WS perfect game, was half a foot outside, lol.
@@mikeprevost8650 That's true - but that was in the days before slow motion instant replay where an umpire could get away with it. Nowadays, if an umpire "helps" a player it would take away from that player's achievement in a way that he would not have in the bygone days. Your observation about the last pitch in the Don Larsen perfect game is correct; yet, hardly anybody ever talks about that. It was the only perfect game ever to be thrown in a World Series - end of story.
I forgive Joyce. At the end of the day, we’re all human and we all make mistakes
Amen brother
Who are you to forgive
I can't help but cry for the umpire and the pitcher.
This holds a truth inside...if you admit you're wrong, if you are vulnerable, most people...even the most vile internet trolls, will understand.
I really wish Galarraga had given Joyce the double bird and a stone cold stunner.
You gotta respect his sorrow. He knew he messed up big and he knew what he had to do. Mad respect for Jim. Respect to Armando as well, if an ump got that call wrong for me I would have gotten so mad but Armando kept his cool.
Hey Angel Hernandez....see this?
It's called, "maturity."
It's called, "owning YOUR mistake."
It's called, "The Human Condition."
Too bad they don’t have replay review then
I’m proud of mr Joyce
To err is human. To stand up and move forward in spite of it is divine.
I still think of this often. The worst call in baseball history, turned into the greatest display of sportsmanship in history.
Hey, I admire him for owning up to it
