Jim Joyce is a great umpire. Unfortunately, Jim Joyce also missed a call that cost Armando Galarraga a perfect game last year. More than anything in the world, Joyce wishes he could go back and change things.
However, that's not how life works, and moments like this continue to get brought up over and over again. When they do, you only hope that they are treated in a professional manner.
So I was happy when today's article by Amy K. Nelson on ESPN.com that updates us on Jim Joyce and how he's feeling now does just that. It's a deep and insightful look into a man who readily admits he made one of the biggest mistakes in baseball history, and who like all of us, just wants to move on with his life.
Im a huge fan of Amy K. Nelson never read any of her articles though, haha
