Almost Perfect

I loved this beautifully-written post by The Anchoress, with whom I heartily agree. This incident epitomized the old saying, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how you play the game". The graciousness in defeat of pitcher Armando Galarraga, and the decency shown towards distraught umpire Jim Joyce, really transcended the game and provided a much-needed lesson in good sportsmanship.
