Detroit News sports writer Chris McCosky ranks the most notable events during the past decade for the Tigers:
1. Armando Galarraga’s Imperfect Game
It was June 2, 2010. Galarraga put down the first 26 Indians he faced that night at Comerica Park. With two outs in the ninth, Jason Donald hit a grounder to the right of first baseman Miguel Cabrera. He fielded it cleanly and threw to Galarraga, who beat Donald to the bag — except first-base umpire Jim Joyce called him safe. Instead of it being the first perfect game in Tigers franchise history, it ended up being a one-hit shutout and more importantly, a tribute to human compassion and sportsmanship.
