Armando Galarraga will go down in history as the man whose perfect game was spoiled by a truly terrible call by umpire Jim Joyce. In his heart, as well as those of countless baseball fans, Galarraga really did throw a perfect game, but until Major League Baseball reverses the call, Galarraga will have to settle for his consolation prize; a brand new Chevrolet Corvette convertible.

GM North America preisdent Mark Reuss presented Galarraga with the shiny new 'vert (which looks like a Grand Sport) "…to celebrate Armando's pitching and sportsmanship during one of the most captivating evenings in Tigers history." With any luck, Galarraga will be formally awarded the distinction of throwing a perfect game, and be able to ride off into the sunset in his shiny new Corvette.

I am waiting two weeks for a new Transmission to arrive for my 2010 GS with 2000 miles and this dude gets his for free right away. I paid $$$$ for my Corvette!
What about you folks waiting 6-10 weeks for yours. Someone went to the back of the line!:mad:
