The game is not. That’s the ruling by Commissioner Bud Selig
Pitching a perfect game is one of the rarest achievements in sports, (only 20 in the history of major league baseball) but perhaps even more rare in this era is the true grace displayed by Armando Galarraga. Having been denied the legacy of pitching a perfect game; zero walks, zero hits and zero errors, he managed to smile and be respectful and gracious to umpire Jim Joyce who got it wrong on the final out. Bravo Armando Galarraga!
