Galarraga throws perfect game
Armando Galarraga threw the 1st perfect game in Tigers history tonight going the distance striking out 3 Indians and only throwing 88 pitches. Austin Jackson made a great over the shoulder catch in deep left center off the bat of Mark Grudzielnek to lead off the 9th. Then Galarraga got a ground out to shortstop and finshed off Donald who grounded out 1st baseman Cabrera to Galarraga covering on the mound.
Jim Joyce pumped his fist into the air ringing the 3rd out and the crowd of 17,000 went nuts spilling onto the field of Comerica Park as Galarraga was mobbed by his teammates. "This is the best day of my life!" shouted Armando as his teammates hoisted him into the air.
** I am glad I got to witness this on tv. 120 years of Tigers baseball and I actually was there to watch every out of the perfect game!!***
