Class acts

I saw umpire Jim Joyce do his job tonight at third base for the Padres-Phillies game, and you gotta give the guy credit.

After his call cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game, Joyce was man enough to admit he was wrong.



And contrary to popular belief, it takes a REAL man to show some emotion. Jim Joyce did exactly that when he made his admission, and when he took the field and received the lineup card from the man who had every reason to be furious at him. Instead, Galarraga walked up with an authentic smile on his face.



I don't know if I've seen a classier act than these to guys. It takes a real man to do the things these guys did, and they are a fine example to everyone who saw this. Let me just say that I still enjoy a nice scuffle every once in awhile!

PLAY BALL!!!
