Review:
Praise for Nobody's Perfect
Captivating [It reads] like a great summer novel.” Mark Newman, MLB.com
The reason that there are only twenty perfect games in the history of baseball is that everything has to go right and everyone has to be perfect for that day to happen. In Nobody’s Perfect, Armando Galarraga, a young pitcher looking for his place in history, and Jim Joyce, arguably the finest umpire of his time, show us why. With the skilled Dan Paisner, they reveal major league baseball at its core, the day to day struggles of a young pitcher and the grind of umpiring in the major leagues. If you are a baseball fan, I dare you to name all twenty days of perfection. But after reading Nobody’s Perfect, you will never forget this game or these two men.” Ron Darling
You might think everything that could have been said, replayed and revealed about that night has already been uttered, logged and exposed. You would, however, be as wrong as the unfortunate Mr. Joyce.” Neal Rubin, The Detroit News
