Ump Costs Pitcher Perfect Game

We at The Fold Blog are big baseball fans. Even more so we are fans of good pitching. So far this season, for the first time in over a hundred years, two big league pitchers have tossed perfect games. Definite history for any fan. Last night was the third perfect game of the season. Except the first base umpire blew the call on the final out of the game costing Armando Galarraga the most coveted achievement for any pitcher if not the game itself.  Chalk this up as one for the history books.  Just not one the pitcher or the ump want to be part of.
