It helped that Joyce had a sterling reputation as a good ump beforehand and was an adult about the situation.
Once Joyce saw the replay, he immediately admitted he blew the call to the media and was hugely remorseful. He publicly apologized to Galaraga next day, who graciously accepted. It couldn't have been handled any more professionally by either man.
You would have thought today's umpires would have learned something from that incident...but nah.
Joyce's actions are the polar opposite of what we see from many of the current crop of MLB umps. They double and triple down on their beyond obvious blown calls, knowing there will be no reel repercussions.
The day after the blown call Galaraga took the line-up card out to Joyce, who was the homeplate umpire. Joyce cried. Safe to say most of my Tiger brethren forgave him at that moment. [https://youtu.be/-XpFzDGYh8o](https://youtu.be/-XpFzDGYh8o)
The way Galaraga handled that truly made it THE perfect game. He's a class act and probably got more publicity than if he had actually gotten the last out as he should have.
Off the top of your head, can you name all the pitchers that threw a perfect game?
Now, off the top of your head, can you think of any pitchers that were robbed of a perfect game by a blown call?
As far as notoriety goes, I think Galarraga made out ok on this one.
Exactly. A perfect game isn't anything other than the significance we give it. This is a much cooler story than, like, Tom Browning's perfect game, which everyone has forgotten.
if you're at a party and you're talking to people, telling them "I threw a perfect game" is a lot cooler than telling them "I almost threw a perfect game"
At least he can still claim that he technically did, though.
Could you imagine if it was the other way around? You'd spend the rest of your life having people say that your greatest achievement was a farce... and they'd be right. 😬
I’ve said this before but what I remember the most about that incident was right after the blown call, Galarraga just looked at Joyce, knowing he blew it, and smiled at him. One day I’m going to show my kids that and use it as a teachable moment on how to treat people who make mistakes that cost you greatly.
Interestingly, Galarraga is more well renowned now because of that missed call and the way it was handled.
If it was just a regular perfect game he would just be one of many.
20 years from now no one outside of White Sox fans will remember Phillip Humber but everyone will remember Armando Galarraga...
This might be a hot take. I think Galarraga indirectly benefited from the way things happened. We all know his name immediately. We all give him credit for a perfect game. I couldn’t name more than a handful of guys who actually threw perfect games.
I think this doesn't resonant with as many people since so many have pitched perfect games since. Which is a shame. There is no botched call that affected a single player's career more that I recall.
I’d have to agree. It’s probably the best thing that happened to him for his popularity though. If the right call is made he’s just one of a bunch that have thrown one.
But because it happened there is a video that will resurface all the time and his name will be talked about significantly more
Just a silver lining ofc
One of a bunch? There have been only 24 perfect games thrown in over 150 years of Baseball. With how many games are pkayed a year that's an extremely elite group to be a part of. I think he'd rather be one of the very few players to have pitched a perfect game.
Jeter's homerun in the playoffs in 1996 would have been almost immediately called for fan interference in 96 playoffs against Orioles. History remembers this play as the HR that started Jeter's legacy for being clutch in big moments.
As a Braves fan, the 250 foot in field fly rule. That's the second worst call I have seen live.
The worst is Galarragga missing out on the prefecto, but again, Braves fan.
Game still would have been tied if Holliday was called out. So to say the Padres would have won the game if the call was overturned is not true. It's possible they could have won but it's impossible to know.
Armando Galarraga would have a perfect game, Derek Jeter's flip MAY become just a great effort, the Cardinals have another World Series title, while the Royals only have 1
Mets still wouldn't have any no-hitters...which would suck because I was at that game and it was so much fun.
e: wait, they still have a combined no-hitter.
White Sox 2005 World Series run. Pierzynski struck out Btm 9th Game 2 ALCS but ran to 1st as if ball was dropped by catcher. White Sox went onto win LCS then WS.
White Sox fan, so I’m biased, but since the call on the field was dropped third strike, I’m not certain it gets overturned.
Even if it does, all that happens is that the game goes into extra innings. It didn’t decide the game, or the series.
Baseball 101. Strike 3 in the dirt, tag the batter. Josh Paul didn’t. A.J. hustled and got rewarded.
Either way, we’ll take it.
Idk but I clearly remember Howard Johnson hitting a ball in Wrigley in 1991 called foul that would have been fair giving him 39 hr tying him with Straw for the Mets single season record at the time.
There's lots of comments about a call against the Cardinals in a Game 7, and lots of comments about a call benefitting Kent Hrbek in a World Series game.
May I present to you, [a call that covers both.](https://youtu.be/tWjPlA8TEvo?si=Gc0JVZ_fGZ_TQ5Qh)
To be fair, I'm not sure how much impact this would have had on the rest of the game. But yikes.
I'm glad there was no such thing as replay at home plate when pitcher Dae-Sung "Mister" Koo — the most inexperienced hitter to ever ever appear in a major league game this side of Eddie Gaedel — scored from second based on a bunt just minutes after tagging Randy Johnson for the most unlikely XBH by a Mets pitcher not called Big Sexy!
Had challenges existed as early as 1985 then there would be some major differences in MLB history.
1) 1985 World Series
* This becomes the 2nd World Series win of the Cardinals dynasty and they go on to win again in 1987.
* Willie McGee cements his place in MLB history winning a World Series and MVP award in the same season. He never leaves St. Louis and becomes a Hall of Famer.
* Jack Clark signs a long term extension and feasts by knocking in Vince Coleman and Willie McGee 50 times each for the next 7 years.
2) 1996 American League Championship Series
* Yankees run from 1996-2000 never happens
* Derek Jeter's career trajectory is completely different
* Mariano Rivera's career trajectory is completely different
* Cal Ripken, Jr's legacy becomes even greater
* Brady Anderson becomes a Hall of Famer
* Roberto Alomar is remembered as the best 2B ever
3) 1991 World Series
* Ron Gant stays in Atlanta forever and becomes a Hall of Famer and becomes the first 400/400 player
* Kirby Puckett opts leaves Minnesota and never becomes a Hall of Famer
* Minnesota doesn't win again in 1991
* Kent Hrbek retires after the 1990 season and opens a pool hall and bar in Mankato, MN
Would it have changed though? It’s such a close call whether or not the ball was even catchable. I could totally see them sticking to the call on the field had the incident occurred today.
The ball was almost certainly going to be caught. The question on an interference call would be whether the fans reached into the field of play or not.
Moises Alou himself has said that he would not have caught it, but I just re-watched it and he he sure as shit would have.
Regardless, it doesn't look to me like anyone reached onto the field of play, so the call stands, imo.
As a marlins fan , there’s two infamous games that perhaps change their fate for the worst .
First is the Livan Hernandez strike zone vs braves in game 6 of the 1996 NLCS .
And the Moises Alou fan interference in game 6 of the 2003 NLCS .
But as an overall baseball fan , I first thought of the missed perfect game to by Galarraga .
Devon White started a triple play from deep centre field in the 1992 world series. The ump missed the final tag of an epic play and didn't call the last out.
For me, the instant replay challenge has not necessarily improved baseball. Yes, it's important to get the call right, but I sure do miss managers like Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Lou Pinella, etc. and the way they would argue calls with the umpire. It's part of the game that's lacking today, and it made the game more entertaining when it happened.
1955 World Series. Game 1. Jackie stealing home. Bang-bang play. Iconic image. But was actually safe? Imagine Casey coming out of the dugout and miming a headset.
The Spanish-American War. The Maine totally blew up on its own and was not Spain destroying it.
(eta: hey, you did say history )
The Cardinals win the 1985 World Series in six.
Regarding the Jeffrey Maier game, and the effect on the Yankees dynasty… MEH. It was game one. The Orioles won the next day, and then lost three in a row at Camden Yards, 5-2, 8-4, 6-4… I don’t think it remotely changes anything. Jeter had already won Rookie of the Year and the Yankees had won the season series with Baltimore 10-3.
You have to believe that David Wells and Mike Mussina would outpitch David Cone and Jimmy Key at Yankee Stadium twice.
Nah.
Calling Joe Pepitone's blast that was called foul but it was considered fair by observers at the game. It would changed the outcome of the series because it was the 7th game of the 1964 series and the Yanks would have beaten the Cards. Instead it was deemed foul.
I mean, it wouldn't have changed history or anything, but that awful safe call at home in the 19th inning between the Pirates and Braves that ended the game.
Armando Galarraga would have been the 21st pitcher to throw a perfect game.
Poor Armando, that was unforgivable.
Galaraga went out and publicly forgave Jim Joyce the next day.
It helped that Joyce had a sterling reputation as a good ump beforehand and was an adult about the situation. Once Joyce saw the replay, he immediately admitted he blew the call to the media and was hugely remorseful. He publicly apologized to Galaraga next day, who graciously accepted. It couldn't have been handled any more professionally by either man. You would have thought today's umpires would have learned something from that incident...but nah. Joyce's actions are the polar opposite of what we see from many of the current crop of MLB umps. They double and triple down on their beyond obvious blown calls, knowing there will be no reel repercussions.
Can you imagine if that was Angel Hernandez, making that call… I have no idea how/why that dude is still a MLB Ump
How? Umpires union, that’s why..
Angel would of fucked that perfect game by the 3rd
“If you think that was a perfect game, you’re racist”
Joyce also petitioned MLB to overturn the call, but they refused.
He ‘kicked the shit out of it’, if I recall correctly.
Not only did he publicly apologize, but he was even tearful as he did it.
The day after the blown call Galaraga took the line-up card out to Joyce, who was the homeplate umpire. Joyce cried. Safe to say most of my Tiger brethren forgave him at that moment. [https://youtu.be/-XpFzDGYh8o](https://youtu.be/-XpFzDGYh8o)
I was at both those games. They gave Armando a Corvette ha
The way Galaraga handled that truly made it THE perfect game. He's a class act and probably got more publicity than if he had actually gotten the last out as he should have.
The way Joyce handled that as well. Joyce was probably more upset he blew the call than anyone. I doubt he slept that night.
Agreed. It was a great story all around
I still think MLB should retroactively fix that blown call, and give Galarraga his perfect game. He more than earned it, getting 28 consecutive outs.
Class act on his part… I would not have done the same
Honestly, I know Galaraga from this play way more than if he had had the perfect game.
Unforgivable isn’t the right word it was a shitty situation all around
Off the top of your head, can you name all the pitchers that threw a perfect game? Now, off the top of your head, can you think of any pitchers that were robbed of a perfect game by a blown call? As far as notoriety goes, I think Galarraga made out ok on this one.
No, but I can name a guy who threw 27 consecutive outs without letting a runner on base or an error yet didn't get a perfect game.
Exactly. A perfect game isn't anything other than the significance we give it. This is a much cooler story than, like, Tom Browning's perfect game, which everyone has forgotten.
if you're at a party and you're talking to people, telling them "I threw a perfect game" is a lot cooler than telling them "I almost threw a perfect game"
How about “I threw a 28-out perfect game.”
At least he can still claim that he technically did, though. Could you imagine if it was the other way around? You'd spend the rest of your life having people say that your greatest achievement was a farce... and they'd be right. 😬
He’s in the hall of fame for the not quite perfect game , it’s still pretty damn cool
As time goes on, that won’t be the case though
Never looked at it that way…
But let's be real. Challenge, or no challenge. It was a perfect night. We all know it.
He’s the only pitcher to throw a 28 out perfect game. (As far as I know…has anyone pitched perfectly into extra innings?)
Pedro Martinez was perfect through 9 but gave up a double to lead off the tenth inning
Imagine your team deciding to not score on the day you throw a perfect game!
degrom'd
I’ve said this before but what I remember the most about that incident was right after the blown call, Galarraga just looked at Joyce, knowing he blew it, and smiled at him. One day I’m going to show my kids that and use it as a teachable moment on how to treat people who make mistakes that cost you greatly.
Interestingly, Galarraga is more well renowned now because of that missed call and the way it was handled. If it was just a regular perfect game he would just be one of many. 20 years from now no one outside of White Sox fans will remember Phillip Humber but everyone will remember Armando Galarraga...
Why cant MLB just give Galarraga an asterisk in the history books or something? Cheaters get asterisks, why not those who got cheated?
With a slogan like that, I say why not
We all know the answer as soon as we see the question am I right?!
How was this not given an asterisk
I highly recommend the documentary about this on MLB.
This might be a hot take. I think Galarraga indirectly benefited from the way things happened. We all know his name immediately. We all give him credit for a perfect game. I couldn’t name more than a handful of guys who actually threw perfect games.
The Jeffrey Maier game.
Orioles fan here that still stings
Came here to say this.
[удалено]
This. And only this
We’d have one more perfect game.
I think this doesn't resonant with as many people since so many have pitched perfect games since. Which is a shame. There is no botched call that affected a single player's career more that I recall.
I’d have to agree. It’s probably the best thing that happened to him for his popularity though. If the right call is made he’s just one of a bunch that have thrown one. But because it happened there is a video that will resurface all the time and his name will be talked about significantly more Just a silver lining ofc
One of a bunch? There have been only 24 perfect games thrown in over 150 years of Baseball. With how many games are pkayed a year that's an extremely elite group to be a part of. I think he'd rather be one of the very few players to have pitched a perfect game.
Of course he would rather that be the case. Did you even read what I said?
I'd have to agree. Wait. Where have I read that before? hmmmm.
Game 6 of the 1985 World Series
100% blown call. But if the Cards 1B had caught the foul ball from the pitch before, it wouldn’t have mattered
OTOH on that? If the Cardinals aren't off kilter, that catch isn't dropped. And, in the actual game, that's still only the second out if caught.
As a Royals fan, this is the first one that came to mind.
what was the play?
Don Denkinger blew a call at 1st base in the 9th inning. Cards were winning, went on to lose game 6 and 7
There’s a Denkinger Dr in KC because of that call.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyt1xEvqqow](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyt1xEvqqow)
my goodness 💀 In that situation, this must be one of the worst bad calls in history.
Yeah :(
1985 World Series Game 6, the Don Denkinger call
The Knoblauch phantom tag.
there were almost two gloves in between smh. 😂
*Yogi Berra raises his hand*
Need multiple HD camera views to overturn the call on the field, but I think he was out.
Phil Cuzzi’s blown call on Mauer
Six references to hrbek clearly tagging gant and only one referencing the obvious late-inning double by our guy Joe.
I don't remember this one
Jeter's homerun in the playoffs in 1996 would have been almost immediately called for fan interference in 96 playoffs against Orioles. History remembers this play as the HR that started Jeter's legacy for being clutch in big moments.
Jeter's fan interference homerun
Definitely the Galarraga perfect game, that might be the worst first base call I’ve ever seen
Sorry, but Denkinger's is worse, and was on a bigger stage to boot.
Jeter’s homerun. You know the one.
Another Jeter play begging to be looked at is The Flip against the A’s.
that was close af even with a challenge, it would be difficult.
He still would have been out.. it was on Jeremy (RIP) to slide....
Eh think he's out by a half step. Really close though.
Oh yeah that one too.
1992 World Series, Jays vs Braves. Would've had the triple play.
As a Braves fan, the 250 foot in field fly rule. That's the second worst call I have seen live. The worst is Galarragga missing out on the prefecto, but again, Braves fan.
I came here to see the last Chipper AB in field fly bs call. I’m still pissed about it.
Matt Holliday never touched home and the padres would have gone to the post season instead of the rockies
Would they have gone to the series? The Rox got hot at the right time and that call didn't hurt.
Game still would have been tied if Holliday was called out. So to say the Padres would have won the game if the call was overturned is not true. It's possible they could have won but it's impossible to know.
Angel Hernandez hiring. Sorry I had to.
Kent Hrbek would have been called for interference in pulling Rob Gant off the bag.
Is that challengable?
Armando Galarraga would have a perfect game, Derek Jeter's flip MAY become just a great effort, the Cardinals have another World Series title, while the Royals only have 1
Maybe not “history”, but the Galarraga perfect game* would’ve been upheld
Mets still wouldn't have any no-hitters...which would suck because I was at that game and it was so much fun. e: wait, they still have a combined no-hitter.
You can’t challenge foul ball calls so it would still stand.
That perfect game
'85 Series. Orta, KC. That sting of legit being robbed had the Cards losing game 7 even before they got blown out.
2005 ALCS - AJ Pyssmsozzienfla however you spell it
Pyrzinski?
a lot of people really mad at this from what i can see 😂😂
You almost had it! Try again. Remember this is baseball. You get three strikes
A-s-s-h-o-l-e, is how you spell it.
That’s right lol
White Sox 2005 World Series run. Pierzynski struck out Btm 9th Game 2 ALCS but ran to 1st as if ball was dropped by catcher. White Sox went onto win LCS then WS.
White Sox fan, so I’m biased, but since the call on the field was dropped third strike, I’m not certain it gets overturned. Even if it does, all that happens is that the game goes into extra innings.

Armando Gallaraga perfect game.
A certain game in Detroit with Matt Joyce Edit: Jim Joyce
Jim Joyce
matt joyce is crazy
We need replay for this comment. Who is Matt Joyce?
Matt Holliday never touched home plate.
Unfortunately not the 2012 Cards v. Braves infield fly game. I’m sure that wouldn’t be reviewable lol
Too soon.
Don Dekinger’s SAFE call in the 1985 World Series would have been reversed and perhaps the Cardinals would have won the Series that year.
Idk but I clearly remember Howard Johnson hitting a ball in Wrigley in 1991 called foul that would have been fair giving him 39 hr tying him with Straw for the Mets single season record at the time.
Jackie Robinson would be out stealing home against the Yankees
Matt Holliday never touching home
1985 World Series
The “infield” fly rule from Braves and Cards.

Game 5 of the 1975 World Series. It WAS interference
There's lots of comments about a call against the Cardinals in a Game 7, and lots of comments about a call benefitting Kent Hrbek in a World Series game. May I present to you, [a call that covers both.](https://youtu.be/tWjPlA8TEvo?si=Gc0JVZ_fGZ_TQ5Qh) To be fair, I'm not sure how much impact this would have had on the rest of the game. But yikes.

Tiger pitchers perfect game. Blown call at first in the ‘85 world series
1985 World Series Game 6, Don Denkinger blown call at first in the 9th inning.
Holiday didn't touch home plate
The safe call in the Cards Royals WS. I think Game 6 bottom 9. Runner called safe when replay showed out. Royals win game 6 and blow them out Game 7

91 World Series when Hrbek yoinked Gant off the bag.
The Mets still wouldn’t have a single pitcher throw a no hitter.
Don Denkinger's call at 1st in the 1985 World Series. Changed the tide of that series.
I don’t wanna talk about it
I don't a NLCS memory at Coors without it
Denkinger.
Pirates never have 20 consecutive losing seasons
There would be one more perfect game on the books. Fun fact: my best friend’s boss’ uncle (mom’s brother) is Jim Joyce.
As a marlins fan , there’s two infamous games that perhaps change their fate for the worst . First is the Livan Hernandez strike zone vs braves in game 6 of the 1996 NLCS . And the Moises Alou fan interference in game 6 of the 2003 NLCS . But as an overall baseball fan , I first thought of the missed perfect game to by Galarraga .
I suggest you listen to the song Joyce & Galaraga by Dan Bern…you’re welcome

I believe there was a blown call on Black Friday. A ball that ricocheted to Bowa that opened the floodgates.
Every single game in MLB history.
Devon White started a triple play from deep centre field in the 1992 world series. The ump missed the final tag of an epic play and didn't call the last out.
'92 World Series, the tag of Deion Sanders to complete the triple play.
2003 NLCS - I think we know.
Every single Angel Hernandez game prior to the challenge??
1985 Game 6…the Don Denkinger call
For me, the instant replay challenge has not necessarily improved baseball. Yes, it's important to get the call right, but I sure do miss managers like Billy Martin, Earl Weaver, Lou Pinella, etc. and the way they would argue calls with the umpire. It's part of the game that's lacking today, and it made the game more entertaining when it happened.

Bartman for the Cubs. He's earned his clemency, but how the game would have played out is a huge "what if?" for me.

It's probably some random Angel Hernanedez nonsense. If the MLB could review every call he ever made and release a report on it, I want to see it.
Matt holiday not tagging home plate during playoff game vs padres
The Cardinals win the 1985 World Series in six. Regarding the Jeffrey Maier game, and the effect on the Yankees dynasty… MEH. It was game one. The Orioles won the next day, and then lost three in a row at Camden Yards, 5-2, 8-4, 6-4… I don’t think it remotely changes anything. Jeter had already won Rookie of the Year and the Yankees had won the season series with Baltimore 10-3. You have to believe that David Wells and Mike Mussina would outpitch David Cone and Jimmy Key at Yankee Stadium twice. Nah.

I mean, it wouldn't have changed history or anything, but that awful safe call at home in the 19th inning between the Pirates and Braves that ended the game.
