What could have been a perfect game 16 years ago today instead became a display of perfect sportsmanship.
Armando Galarraga visited the Museum, where his cleats and the @tigers first base from that day are preserved, on the anniversary of his masterpiece.

"Ladies and gentlemen, less than six months ago we began a warm season of farewells, and with each passing day we came a little bit closer to this historic occasion.
The Lions, Joe Louis, and Nelson Mandela.
Six-thousand eight-hundred seventy-three regular-season games, 35 postseason contests and a trio of spectacular All-Star Games.
Tiger Stadium has been home to this great game of baseball.
But more than anything, it has been a cherished home to our memories.
Will you remember that last base hit?
The last out?
How about that last pitch?
Or maybe it’s the first time as a child when you saw that green, green grass that will forever be etched into your mind and soul.
Tonight we say good-bye.
But we will not forget.
Open your eyes, look around and take a mental picture.
Moments like this shall live on forever.
It’s been 88 moving years at Michigan and Trumbull.
The tradition built here shall endure along with the permanence of the 'Olde English D'.
But tonight we must say good-bye.
Farewell, old friend Tiger Stadium.
We will remember."
Ernie Harwell.
Farewell Speech.
Final Game at Detroit's Tiger Stadium
A double play was always “two for the price of one.
A foul ball reaching the stands:
"Was caught by a man from Livonia."
His most famous call was perhaps on Tigers home runs when he proclaimed the ball was:
"Looooong gone."
Michigan and Trumbull was the address for professional baseball in Detroit for 104 seasons.
From 1896 when Bennett Park opened, until the last game at Tiger Stadium in 1999.
Michigan and Trumbull was the most famous street corner in the world.
"God blessed me by putting me here for thirty-one years at Michigan and Trumbull."
Ernie Harwell.
