Galarraga's perfect place in history
Most fans feel bad for Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga, but he will go down in history for his imperfect game. He will be remembered more than the 20 guys who accomplished the feat.
How many of those pitchers can you name? Can you name the two who did it this season? No fair going to Google. With Galarraga a bad call away from the third perfect game in lass than a month, we have to invoke a Yogi-ism into this discussion: Perfect games aren't as rare as they used to be.
The positive effect of this mistake will be an overhauling of the limited instant replay. Our Ken Davidoff explains.
