Edit request from 98.243.162.212, 3 June 2010

{{editsemiprotected}} Jim Joyce now infanmous for being the worst umpire in baseball history. He blew the biggest call in baseball history on June 2, 2010 during the game of the Detroit Tigers and the Cleveland Indians. Galarraga, Detroits pitcher, threw a perfect game from start to finish. On the last out of the game Galarraga tagged first base to end the game and attribute his perfect game. But Jim Joyce, the worst umpire ever, called the runner safe when he was out by more then a step. Jim Joyce should be fired for his continious poor behavior in the manner he makes calls. After all, it has been said that the MLB should allow previews on calls such as the one that took place in this game. Jim Joyce robbed the 21st perfect game from Galarraga, and robbed history.

Jim Joyce made a terrible call at first base because Armando Gallaraga cleary caught the ball which was hit to Miguel Cabrera as he tossed the ball to 1st base Jim Joyce clearly didn't see the call because he was not looking at the base when the play was made. After the game, Jim Joyce and Jim Leyland got in a arguement which resulted in some of the Tigers bench clearing and Jim Leyland agruing with Joyce.

To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Jim joyce made a bad call at 1st base he was clearly out the fans said. But, he is just plain stupid when it comes to being an umpire. He is also for breaking the hearts of many Tigers fans and making an idiotic call at 1st base which resulted in a saga. He shouldn't really be umpiring the MLB.

This is not a message board.

"Appeared to show" or "showed" or "clearly showed"?

Now that the page is protected, we may as well try to reach some sort of consensus about how we can appropriately describe the relationship between the replays and the correctness of the call. I favor the "appeared to" form, for reasons given in my last edit summary. However, I'm open to persuasion. I suppose the relevant question is how unanimous secondary sources have to be in declaring the call incorrect in order for its incorrectness to be established as a fact for our purposes.
