I know this is getting to be old news, but MLB umpire Jim Joyce is back in the news today.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Last week, after his perfect game-blowing call in Detroit, he granted an interivew to a Detroit newspaper that has given some more insight to an already humbled man’s life.

I don’t know where you stand on this issue. I don’t know you if you care one way or the other if MLB changed the ruling on this call or not.

As for me, I’m human. I make mistakes, and there’s nothing that anybody can say to me that I wouldn’t have already said to myself. I’m my own worst critic. When another person owns up to their mistake I take notice. Not too many people are willing to admit when they screw something up, especially as quickly as Mr. Joyce did. That takes guts, or cajones, or whatever other word you may want to insert there.

He “man-ed up”. Plain and simple.

I want to post the link to this newspaper’s article because I feel it’s worth sharing. I found it on the Big League Stew page on yahoo sports MLB section and I’m pretty sure that not everyone reads that (not that you’re reading this either!)

So, without anymore rambling here it is.
