Unless you've been under a rock, you know that Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga had a perfect game taken away from him on the final out in the 9th inning on a blown call by umpire Tim Joyce. It's a sad situation all around.
The bigger message though, shouldn't be lost. Joyce immediately stepped up and took responsibility for his mistake, both to radio and personally in a private meeting with Galarraga, who graciously accepted Joyce's tearful apology.
What happens from here? Should the commissioner step in and overturn Joyce's call and award Galarraga his perfecto? Maybe. Probably. What should happen from here is that parents and kids and adults and government and celebrities see this as how America should work. We admit our mistakes, apologize and move on.
There is a bigger lesson here than just baseball.
