Awesome scene...
Jim Leyland has Armando Galarraga deliver the line up card to Jim Joyce before Tigers/Indians game today! Leylands way of saying, Let's move on!

Classy move. Builds on his sportsmanlike comments after the game.

An update from the Official Scorer from the near-perfect game who had the power to change the hit to an error based on replay.

He said he saw no "bobble" and saw no way to change his decision.

I'm telling you, when the red-eyed Joyce wiped his eyes and rubbed the tears off on his shirt, and turned and tapped Galarraga on the shoulder, it made you weep. This whole incident has elevated this pair of true professionals to an even higher level than completing the perfect game could have. Tom Verducci mentioned something like that and it's true.

Honesty and decency. That's all it takes. It used to be the norm.

So what if he did?

It would make it a no-hitter but it still wouldn't be a perfect game.

That's right.
No one said he could make it a perfect game.
