As a culture we have come to love heroes. They inspire us. They motivate us. They give us hope. And there are not enough of them.
Armando Galarraga is an unlikely hero. He’s 28 years old, just called up from the Triple-A Toledo "Mud Hens" on May 16th to pitch for the Detroit Tigers. In last night’s game between the Cleveland Indians and the Detroit Tigers he was within one pitch of throwing "a perfect game". Two outs, ninth-inning, last batter. Chopping hit between 1st and 2nd base…throw to first in plenty of time and umpire Jim Joyce calls the runner… “safe” thus robbing Armando Galarraga of a perfect game. Later the umpire acknowledged he “blew the call” and apologized to Armando. Despite repeated video reviews and confirmation that the wrong call was made it would not be changed. There is no “instant replay” in baseball.
In a magnificent show of graciousness when the umpire, Jim Joyce in tears, offered an apology to Armando for missing the call that cost him the “perfect game” Armando Galrraga responded, “He feel really bad. He probably feel more bad than me,…Nobody’s perfect, everybody’s human.”
You’re right Armando, nobody is perfect…but on June 2, 2010 you were pretty darn close to perfect in the way that counts the most. You are my hero!

Leader of the Free World
This past week the President of the United States, Leader of the Free World, proudly made the comment in regards to the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico that he wants to know "whose @#!% to kick". I am embarrassed that our own president lacks the ability to express himself in a way that would reflect the class that should be present in the highest office in the land. Granted other presidents have also used foul language. I was just hoping that Mr. Obama was somehow better than that...guess not.
