Worse way to lose a perfect game: Darvish or Galarraga?

Galarraga. That wasnt by his own doing.

I actually think Darvish way is worse. At the end of the day Gallaraga and everyone else knows he really threw a perfect game. At the end of the day, Darvish and everyone else knows he didnt throw a perfect game

I was at a bar one night with Jim Joyce. Really, an awesome dude. After several beers I asked him about that game. He told me it was without a doubt the worst moment in his professional career, said that everything he told the reporters was from the bottom of his heart and he apologized to Gallarraga every time he saw him.

It was obvious it really bothered him, he said he just reacted, and right away he knew he was flat out wrong.

No. It wasn't even close. Hard hit, clean single.

Gallaraga

Galarraga is actually is a better situation because of what happened. There have been a few dozen perfect games thrown, and they are amazingly special, but how many can you name? I will always remember Galarraga's name and the look on his face, the Jim Joyce thing, him getting a car a few days later, and all that other shite. His perfect game is actually more memorable than any other perfect game except for maybe Doc Ellis and Don Larsen

Galarraga.
This is not even a debate
