The Jim Joyce call that you’ve seen everywhere by now

Joyce apologized to Galarraga after the game and the pitcher accepted and understood. Here is what Joyce had to say after the game, via Big League Stew:

"I just cost that kid a perfect game," Joyce said afterward. "I thought he beat the throw. I was convinced he beat the throw, until I saw the replay."

“I don’t blame them a bit or anything that was said. I would’ve said it myself if I had been Galarraga. I would’ve been the first person in my face, and he never said a word to me.”

At least the 28 out "perfect game" will live on in infamy.
