You can see the play for yourself here, although you will see it again many, many times. Galarraga clearly beat Cleveland's Jason Donald to the bag and despite a small bobble (after the runner had crossed and he'd already removed his foot from first base) fielded the throw from Miguel Cabrera cleanly. Yet, Joyce inexplicably ruled him safe. (Even Donald was dumbfounded.) How anyone could make that call in that situation defies all wondering.
