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.

Jim Joyce had the class to apologize for the blown call.
It's only happened once, an umpire apologizing.
