A pitcher (Armando Galarraga) has pitched 8-2/3 perfect innings and an ump (Jim Joyce) totally blows a call on the 27th batter to deny a deserving pitcher a perfect game.
I don't think it's occurred in the past or since.
MLB should give Galarraga the perfecto. If reviews were allowed to turn over the play in the past, then this wouldn't have happened. Yeah, I know, but what about all the other blown calls? Well, this one was an especially screwed up call.
