Hard to believe its been 5 years since this...

On this day in 2010, Armando Galaraga pitched the game of his life against the Cleveland Indians. He was one out away from a perfect game. a ground ball was hit to short 1st base, Miguel Cabrera fielded it and Galaraga stepped on the bag and beat the runner. Umpire Jim Joyce called the runner safe. It was a call that haunted Joyce to this day and changed baseball to this day. Galaraga handled the situation with class. The next day, he (Galaraga), brought out the line up card for the Tigers gave it to Jim Joyce and gave him a hug. Those two would also share in a ESPY award later as they presented a award at ESPN's summer awards show. The both have a book called, No one is perfect. Five years ago tonight I was at a Dayton Dragons game and it was raining like crazy. It was so nasty, my friends and I left early.
