Amy K. Nelson wrote a nice little article on ESPN.com about Jim Joyce and his dealing with his inability to call an out. As a Tigers fan I will always hold a nice little place of hatred in my heart for him, but as a human being, I will always feel bad for him because of what happened. He knows he completely screwed Armando Galarraga. The great thing is Galarraga's sportsmanship towards the whole situation. Everyone knows how he handled it and how Jim Joyce dealt with the situation, so lets move on.
The nice thing when reading the article is what was written on Joyce's baggage claim when he left the city. If there was anyplace where he was not wanted it was the city of Detroit. However, the tags for his suitcases held a special note from workers at the airport. It's a nice sign that people are willing to admit mistakes and that it is okay to do so.
As dark as the world seems at times it is good to know that there are people around to let you know that making mistakes is okay. Hey, who hasn't screwed up a call at their daily job every once in a while.
