The view from the other side showed a bit of a bobble by the pitcher. Maybe that’s why he was called safe.

The ump watch the replay and admitted his mistake publically.

He even went into the locker room to apologise in person to Galarraga.

Nothing was bobbled.

The umpire said in a post game interview that he thought the batter beat the ball to the bag. He admitted he blew the call.

Jim Leyland, the Tigers manager, said Joyce told him the runner beat the throw (in his opinion).

I cannot understand why, considering it was a perfect game, Joyce didn't give the pitcher the benefit of the doubt. It was a 3-0 lead, so it wasn't like the game was on the line.
