Minnesota Twins: A look at the one of the worst blown calls in team history

Catcher Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins

We take a look back at what could have been for the Minnesota Twins had Phil Cuzzi not blown the foul ball call in 2009.

On this date in 2010, Umpire Jim Joyce called former Cleveland Indians shortstop Jason Donald safe at first base, costing Tigers pitcher and (Minnesota Twins nemesis) Armando Galarraga a perfect game, as Galarraga had retired the previous 26 batters without issue.

Joyce immediately saw after the replay he made the wrong decision, but there was nothing to be done.
