I agree...kinda....
So we're now reduced to rewarding what/how you should behave like? As if throwing a tantrum or behaving badley because of a botched call is now considered expected?

Kinda bass-ackwards if ya ask me. What he did, or how he handles it should be expected, not rewarded.

Armando Galarraga was screwed! There's no prize on earth that will replace his spot in baseball history.

I don't know too much about Baseball............

Can't they go back and change the call and give this guy his dues ?

I know in football they can review a call...?

How's that for the dumbest question EVER asked here?

A perfect game pretty much puts a pitcher in the mix for the HOF all on it's own when the time comes.

Not a baseball fan at all but i can apprieciate the feat of a perfect game. i don't really think the guy was expecting anything at all after the bad call and probably just put it behind him looking forward to the next game. maybe it was just other peoples involved trying to not just make him feel better but themselves too. the pitcher handled the disappointment admirilbly. my worthless .02 too
