I thought it would be fun to speculate on how other pitchers might have handled the situation had they been in Armando Galarraga's position last night.... I think we can all agree that Galarraga handled it very nicely, but we all know that not all pitchers would have.
Roger Clemens: "I'm going to find out where you live and come after you this winter." This was spoken to an umpire after being tossed from a playoff game in 1990, one can only imagine how far he'd have gone had his super star ego been stepped on by a umpire standing between him and history. I could easily see Clemens physically attacking the umpire and not stopping til he was a pile of broken bones and blood.
Kenny Rogers: He'd "borrow" a cameramans camera, show Joyce the replay on the screen then beat the hell outta him with it.
