Nope. Harvey Addik trew 12 perfect inning in 1959 But he lose the perfect game the no hitter. The shutout and finally the game in the 13 inning😳🤔he retire. the first 36. Batters in order (The inperfect masterpiece)
It was a perfect game. It might not be in the books, but everyone knows that last call was bullshit. It was pretty obvious that the runner was 2 steps away from the bag when miggy got the ball in his glove. I remember watching the last 3 innings of the game as a kid. I was in bed sleeping and my dad woke me up on a school night to watch it. When that runner was called safe I freaked out, I cried and threw a huge tantrum because I have Armando's autograph.
Jim Joyce’s conduct after the game though should be commended. He said he got it wrong and apologized. He was always respected as one of MLB’s better umps. Just a really bad mistake. But good on Jim for owning up to it and showing class.
Another ironic fact about this game: Jim Joyce is from Toledo and attended BGSU. He more than likely grew up a Tigers fan, as Toledo has long been linked to the Tigers due to its close proximity to Detroit and being home to their AAA team, the Mud Hens. You have to think he also received the wrath from his friends back home for this blowing this call.
I noticed that too. He definitely overthought that. Nobody brings it up and he himself should have acknowledged that. That's what makes even worse. He did know he was out.
He would have joined Addie Joss on the perfect game with the fewest number of strikeouts (3) and the second fewest number of pitches (83) since Addie Joss (74). Batting is better than it ever has been, so we may never never again see 24 bats making contact with the ball and resulting in no hits. The Tigers fielding was also impeccable. MLB need to rewrite this wrong. It's particularly egregious because he was an otherwise average pitcher having the greatest day of his career.
I do not blame the Tigers players for getting in Joyces face after the game. You can not just let something like that go. How many times does any pitcher put themselves in to position for a perfect game? It is so damn rare. I credit Jim Joyce for admitting that he messed up after the game but man that is a historic blown call.
credit him joyce for admitting he messed up? let´s see... jim joyce rapes your 9 year old daughter and he admits it..... give him credit???? jesus christ!
Joyce was blinded by ego. He was geared up to show the world that he's a great umpire unswayed by the emotions of the moment and that he won't just hand a pitcher a perfect game, he'll call a runner safe to kill a perfect game if that runner barely beats the throw. He wanted that glory. Instead he made a clown of himself.
@@mattlv2002 ^^^^ this!! Every one says “he’s a true man cause he owned up to it and took accountability” Well what’s he supposed to do?? Deny the replay? You’re exactly right.
@@mattlv2002 What the fuck are you saying? He was consistently ranked as one of the best umpires and he even apologized to Galarraga after the game. He gets emotional when people bring it up to him.
Jim Joyce also missed on a call in the bottom of the 8th to allow the tigers to score 2 runs. Johnny Damon should have been out. This guy was asleep at the wheel that night
You can tell how much respect that ump has. Because everyone is saying, “it happens and it’s a human mistake” I just know other umps like angel people will say, “he’s pure garbage”
He missed an easy call in the bottom of the 8th to allow the tigers to score 2 runs. Johnny Damon was clearly out. Jim Joyce was asleep at the wheel that night
What does that have to do with my comment? The guy who made one of the worst calls in history also in the previous inning blew a call that was not even close. It don’t matter if you’re a tigers or Indians fan you want a competent umpire
@@ellieandronansvlogs7081 this is going to be my last comment to you if you can’t get this then I can’t help you. People were saying this guy is such a great umpire and everybody makes mistakes when I was just casually watching the whole game and noticed he also blew a not even close call in the previous inning. So it looks like that blown perfect game call was not a one off for him.
Good repeat and great to hear Mario and Rod again. God I miss em so much. Wish they'd reconcile one of these days. Worst commentators ever: Kirk Gibson, Joe Buck, George Blaha, Greg Kelser, Jason Strayhorn, Ken "The Hawk" Harrelson, Fred McLeod, Austin Carr, Marv Albert, Brent Musburger, Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, Ralph Lawler, Grant Napear, and Mike "Doc" Emerick.

Youre absolutely insane if you think Doc emerick is a bad commentator. And especially since you let Pierre McGuire off that last cause Doc over pierre? No way. Hockey will never be the same without him
Anyone else happen to notice that Joyce made another bad call prior to that last one? Watch Johnny Damon's at bat in the 8th inning about the 1:09:20 mark. Joyce calls Damon safe. Replay shows he was out by half a step. Watch the reactions of the guys in the Indians' dugout. Surprisingly, the Indians don't argue the call. Tigers go on to score two more runs. Could that call have affected Joyce's thought process on what should have been the 27th out in the 9th? Make up call?
Just to play devil’s advocate here… When Miggy fields the ground ball to his side, he sort of hesitates to throw to first. Not excusing Joyce here, but had Cabrera thrown to first a split second sooner, the play is obviously an out.
I've always been annoyed at the announcers when they say" it's over" no dude. I'm sick of that nonsense. It wasn't a blown call it was blown history. They had every right to irate. One of the worst calls in sports history.
I don't get it. Why would the 1B umpire choose to call the runner safe when he was out ? It wasn't even that close. This is the major leagues, that's a routine play. Might as well make the correct call, no ?
I think I saw this with my mom. I remember that it was on STO. What did Matt and Rick say after Crowe was retired to end the game again? I believe that Manny Acta felt bad too.
by getting 27 outs in a row through nine defensive innings, without allowing a batter to reach a base in any way. and a pitcher cannot reasonably achieve it without his infield and outfield
Ball was right too the second baseman. If Cabrera would have just went to first and covered and let the second baseman take it that’s probably a perfect game
real baseball fans know this is a perfect game
And always will be
It wasn't
It was a perfect game and then some. 28 up and 28 down
@@GothicLoglc because if this happened in 2015 when mlb had replay review, the call would’ve been overturned
Every human being with their eyes aren't blinded know that this was percfect

nope.... thanks to joyce... a man reached first... hard from it being a perfect game according to corrupt selig.
I don't think the runner could even believe he was called safe
Donald said that he was "the most shocked person in the stadium". He was expecting Joyce to punch him out.
I don't think he even wanted to be safe everyone just wanted it for galarraga

IT WAS NOT NEARLY PERFECT. IT WAS PERFECT.
28 out of 28 batters retired. A perfect game plus one.
look at the reaction from the Cleveland bench ..WOW
I feel like this is what sealed the deal to bring replay overturns into the game.
This is probably the only call that will get overturned
Galarraga is a truly a class act.
Tears to all eyes on this one. Damon was out in the eight and then another mistake robbing a perfect game - ouch, Joyce got the whole game wrong.
Jim Joyce’s conduct after the game though should be commended. He said he got it wrong and apologized. He was always respected as one of MLB’s better umps.

@@brandonneumann5294 yeah but that was a bang-bang play. Even in slow motion it almost looks like a tie, which would obviously go to the runner.

JOYCE WAS READY TO CALL HIM OUT WATCH IT CLOSELY...JOYCE READY TO PUMP HIM
Agreed ... Joyce started to make the out call for a split second and then changed it directly to safe.
I noticed that too. He definitely overthought that. Nobody brings it up and he himself should have acknowledged that. That's what makes even worse. He did know he was out.
Watched this live. I've never screamed at my TV screen the way I did that day.
Same
1:15:10 - OH, JACKSON!!!
Why am I watching this? Why am I doing this to myself again?
The title should just say perfect game not nearly perfect game
5th inning was only the beginning of proving this perfect game.and Jackson, made it destiny IT WAS A PERFECT GAME FOR ALL THOSE REASONS.
He would have joined Addie Joss on the perfect game with the fewest number of strikeouts (3) and the second fewest number of pitches (83) since Addie Joss (74). Batting is better than it ever has been, so we may never never again see 24 bats making contact with the ball and resulting in no hits. The Tigers fielding was also impeccable.

If either Joe West or Angel Hernandez was there, they gonna ruin the Perfect game
1:09:36 foreshadowing
Good eye.
1:18:10
Armando Galarraga was all class after this game.
That first base umpire Jim Joyce is full of shit. He should not be umpire for what he did to the pitcher. That is horrible.
Armando was such a class act, but so was Jim Leyland and Jim Joyce
To this day, I have no idea how Jim Joyce honestly thought the runner beat him to the bag 1st. That wasn’t even close to consider

This game went so fast that the game finished before local sunset. A Twilight game instead of a night game.
Do you have any regular season games from 2006?
Why didn't Miggy just stay at 1st base tho. ughhhhh i still watch this wishing it would change.
What a find this is! I only wish I'd spotted it when it first came out. Major props, Brian.
1:20:43
You can see Jim Joyce die inside
The only thing more unique than a perfect game.
Umpires clearly didn’t want him to have a perfect game…..
This should be changed to a 28 out perfect game instead of a 1 hit shutout.
No question perfect ..how many 1 hitters were pitched in MLB..this turns into greatest 1 hitter in MLB history
35:52 Oddly enough, none of those teams won a WS those respective years.
Wasnt. Even. Close.
