Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm has issued a proclamation that says Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga pitched a perfect game against Cleveland, despite an umpire's blown call.
Granholm issued the proclamation Thursday, one day after first base umpire Jim Joyce declared a runner safe with two outs left in the ninth inning, costing Galarraga a perfect game. After seeing the replay, Joyce said he blew the call and apologized to the pitcher for not realizing Cleveland's Jason Donald didn't beat the throw to first base.
Granholm tweeted about the blown call after the game and on Thursday told WJR radio that Galarraga "was robbed."
Sen. Debbie Stabenow is also urging baseball commissioner Bud Selig to declare Galarraga's performance perfect, and Rep. John D. Dingell says he'll introduce a congressional resolution asking Major League Baseball to overturn the call.
