- Abstract
The author reflects on the true sportsmanship shown by umpire Jim Joyce, pitcher Armondo Galarraga and the entire Detroit Tigers baseball team during a June 2, 2010 match against the Cleveland Indians. According to the author, Galarraga was on track to record a perfect game when Joyce erroneously made a safe call during the match. He praises the self-control and level of sportsmanship shown by Galarraga after the erroneous call. He points out the dignity shown by Joyce when he admitted his mistake and apologized to the Detroit team.
