10 years later, ex-Tiger Armando Galarraga 'lucky to not be lucky' in brush with perfection

Detroit — It was June 2, 2015, and Major League Baseball's new commissioner, Rob Manfred, was in Detroit, the latest stop on his visit to all 30 teams' ballparks.

Prior to the game, Manfred stopped in the umpires' room, just behind the tunnel behind home plate at Comerica Park, and made some small talk.

"How is replay going? Do you like it?" Manfred asked, a season after MLB added expanded instant replay to include more than just home runs.

"I wish we had it five years ago," said that night's second-base umpire, Jim Joyce.
