I forget who the pitcher was for Detroit, but he got screwed out of a no-hitter and the umpire who called it even admitted it was the wrong call.
Armando Galleraga?

Good one! Not just a no-hitter, but an extremely rare perfect game! The pitcher was Armando Galarraga, who handled it with superb class. The umpire Jim Joyce was also very contrite about the incident and realized the gravity of it toward posterity.
Only 23 pitchers in the history of Major League Baseball have thrown a perfect game.

Galarraga retired the next batter. Therefore, it was a perfect game. 28 up, 28 down.

I'm sure Vic is being facetious, but here's the definition of a perfect game:
A perfect game is defined by Major League Baseball as a game in which a pitcher (or combination of pitchers) pitches a victory that lasts a minimum of nine innings in which
no opposing player reaches base. Thus, the pitcher (or pitchers) cannot allow any hits, walks, hit batsmen, or any opposing player to reach base safely for any other reason and the fielders cannot make an error that allows an opposing player to reach a base; in short,
"27 up, 27 down".
Besides, Vic, there are only three outs in an inning, so in Galarraga's case it was 28 up, 27 down.
...unless you're trying to make the point there were "four outs" in that ninth inning.

I think all he’s saying is that the guy was ruled safe but was actually out. So technically he retired 28 in a row regardless of what the umpire decided the call was... the reality was something different.

Yes, I gathered that eventually, hence the four-out ninth inning. I can be slow and too matter-of-fact at times.

The Detroit Lions - another decade of consistent mediocrity/suckiness. While other teams go thru their ups and downs, rebuilds, the Lions on a flatline of suckiness with no end in sight.
