His name will always remain on our lips now
He deserves it, but a week from now when his name comes up, it will always be the guy you see on the card.
Galaragga and umpire Joyce have shown class here. Galagragga was very generous with his forgiveness and Joyce was quick to apologize.
Folks, humans screw up. A game is a game. Forgiveness and contrition are the real deal.
These two couldn’t have been more mature, open, honest, and caring.
Human frailty, is as much a part of baseball as the perfect game. Galaragga will go down in history as the guy whose perfect game was stolen. His name would have been raised in conjunction with the perfect game, and then forgotten by most people.
His name will always remain on our lips now (we will always know what he earned), and the class with which he met this challenge, and the class with which Joyce acknowledged his mistake and apologized, was as incredible and more rare than the triple play.
Play ball!

Not really, in this case it is big business.
