Grace Under Pressure
from Starting Right · host DannyMac
One bad call can take something from you that you never get back and the real test is what you do next. Today I tell a classic MLB story from 2010, when Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was one out away from a perfect game and a safe call at first base ended it. Replay later proved the runner was out, but what happened after the play is why this moment still matters.I walk through how Galarraga chose composure instead of a meltdown, and how veteran umpire Jim Joyce did something rare: he watched the replay, admitted “I blew it,” and personally sought out Galarraga to apologize. Their exchange becomes a short, powerful picture of humility, grace, and what accountability can look like when pride would be easier.Our friends, family, and coworkers are always watching how we handle injustice, disappointment, and being wronged. If you need a five-minute reset on forgiveness, patience, and finding peace fast, this one is for you.We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show
