Jim Joyce stole Neophyte's sense of humor.Jim Joyce did something nearly unheard of in sports or America today and owned up to the mistake like a real man.
Definitely.Agreed. I thought all parties dealt with it with 100% class, something you rarely have the privilege of seeing in today's sport's world.
That may be the case - but it misses the point entirely. There are only a relative handful of pitchers who have EVER pitched a perfect game. So to be essentially robbed of the opportunity to join that club by a bad call, and to respond to that robbery with utter class - well, that is noteworthy. But it doesn't change the fact that he will never be included in the historic record of pitchers who've accomplished that rare feat. No 15 minutes of fame is going to change that. To suggest it will is pretty silly.Here is the funny partt is he is probably more famous noew than if he had been given teh Perfect game
Wasnt suggesting anything except that he is more famous for not throwing it than would be for throwing it Maybe some good will come of this and instant replay will be used in the future for cases like this.That may be the case - but it misses the point entirely.
