in Detroit, Michigan. The diamond Comerica Park are facing the Tigers and Cleveland Indians. Yes, the Detroit Tigers. The same line he plays with Kevin Costner in the movie "Love of the Game" in which the character of "Dances with Wolves" save his marriage and makes a perfect match, not allowing even a base for 27 rounds.
The perfect game, the dream of every pitcher. A company achieved only 18 times in the history of American Major League.
on the mound shows Galarraga for what may be the last throw of the game. The Indians batter hits the ball and sends it to the right side of the field. Start a race against time. The first baseman Cabrera picks up the ball and sends it in the hands of the same pitcher, who rushed to cover the first. Ball in hand and touched base with his foot before the runner. The dream is realized? No, because the first base umpire sees evil and judges "unless" the player in Cleveland. The game goes on, the dream fades for Galarraga.
seems incredible. Even more amazing the reaction of the players. Galarraga reacts with an expression somewhere between surprised and "are you sure?", "Are you sure?", Even managing to smile. The shouts of joy of the public enterprise of one of their player becomes quiet "boo." No dramatic protest of the players at home. From the bench of Cleveland can be seen that the decision surprised even them. Detroit's coach goes to talk politely with the referee, the match resumed. Detroit wins the match 3-0. Galarraga, robbed of his dream, he takes it philosophically. "I'm going to tell him [the referee] not to worry, it happens to make mistakes in life. "
The perfect race for the fuzzy error. Respect is perfect, this is important.
