Honorable Mention

Armando Galarraga, Detroit at Cleveland (AL), 3-0, June 2, 2010 Jim Joyce Blown Call

Galarraga may have forgiven Joyce, but I haven't. Based on what I've seen in boxing lately, he'd fit in nicely as a hometown judge.

Matt Cain of the Giants was one hit away from joining that list on April 13th, 2012.

Congrats Mr. Humber.
