What was said to be the worst call in MLB History robbed Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga of a perfect play Wednesday night. Still, Galarraga’s performance impressed GM so much that it got him the keys to a very impressive 2010 Chevy Corvette convertible.

The Detroit Tigers played against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday that ended with Tigers getting a 3-0 shutout. Near the end of the ninth inning, with 26 Indians’ batters out, Galarraga just needed 1 more out to complete a perfect play. Jason Donald stepped up on the plate and hit a grounder to the infield where Tiger’s first baseman Miguel Cabrera was fielding. Cabrera then threw the ball to first base where Galarraga was. It was clearly an out by a whole stride, but umpire Jim Joyce called Donald safe.

As a disply of integrity and good character, umpire Joyce Joyce admitted that it was the biggest call of his career. He was convinced that Galarraga beat the throw until he saw the reply. Joyce made an apology to Galarraga during the presentation of the lineup card last night.

Mark Reuss, GM North American President, still acknowledged Galarraga’s impressive performance anyway.

With MLB Commissioner Bud Selig unable to overturn the call, Armando Galarraga’s perfect play will live in the minds of baseball fans, even if it will not be found in official record books.
