But he still pitched a complete game shutout with a single hit, and got a win.

It's terrible the kid lost a perfect game, but Joyce gave us a classic learning moment in return. He blew it, he owned it, and he owned up to it.

Once he saw the replay he knew he was wrong. As soon as he knew he was wrong he apologized.<br /><br />Mistakes happen, it's how you deal with them that matters. As a long suffering Detroit fan I couldn't be prouder of the Tigers, or Joyce. We saw two of the hardest things you will ever see in sports in the last two days:<br />1. Losing a perfect game on a call you know is wrong, smiling, and getting the next out.<br />2. Thinking you were right, realizing you were wrong and what that meant; then manning up to admit you were wrong and further getting back in the game with the aggrieved parties the next day.<br /><br />Class all the way around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-48247441740137137272010-06-03T15:35:38.000-04:002010-06-03T15:35:38.000-04:00He did not overrule the call.

It's easy to man up after the game sitting in the AC and enjoying a adult beverage. A real man steps up immediately on the field and reverses the call with the help of his fellow umpires and God forbid REPLAY. The pitcher lost his perfect game forever and will never get it back. Oh Bud Selig will probably issue a proclamination and give it to him. But it will be tainted forever and Joyce should be also.ShawnPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7704146.post-13715207891602799902010-06-03T14:52:10.000-04:002010-06-03T14:52:10.000-04:00Good post.
