Long time umpire Jim Joyce called it quits:
Joyce is a native of Toledo who has long been regarded as one of the game’s best umpires and has called three World Series. Many remember him for botching a call in 2010 that prevented Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga from reaching a perfect game. He later published a book with Galarraga about the drama.
That wasn’t his only gaffe. Compared to other umpires, he was consistent, and didn’t seek attention. Those two huge gaffes, however, says to me he doesn’t deserve the “great” distinction.
