The first Detroit Tiger perfect game in history comes down to a blown call on the last play. And yes it was Guillen's (2b) ball and not the Cabrera's to field, but can't blame him for going after it.

There was no error on the play...Galarraga did not bobble the ball...he snoconed it and after the call he opened his glove to let the ball fall into the palm. This game will never be forgotten...people will always remember this as the perfect game that was blown by the ump. It won't go in the record books, but it will be written about for ages.
