To understand the huge fuss over Armando Galarraga, Jim Joyce and the "perfect game" that wasn't, thanks to umpire Joyce's blown call last night, you need to understand that baseball's "perfect game" is not only one of the most difficult feats in team sports but also one of the rarest.
"The perfect game that wasn't"--I know what it means and my heart goes out to Galarraga, but I'm curious about the grammatical structure of this phrase. If "that" is a relative pronoun, shouldn't it be the perfect game that wasn't a perfect game? Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
