The Detroit Tigers’ Armando Galarraga missed a perfect game by that much.
Or, more accurately – he achieved a perfect game by that much, tonight against the Indians. It’s the 9th inning, two outs, and on a play like that, missing the call is unconscionable. But that’s what happened, and my heart goes out to Galarraga – it sounds melodramatic, but I mean it. I’m just glad it wasn’t the Cubs.
Although, I guess that means the Cubs would have actually won a game.
