as Mariano Rivera spoke on the record about Joyce's superb career of umpiring. Joyce had been the second base umpire for Dallas Braden's perfect game on May 9, 2010, less than a month before the Galarraga game. He was also the first base umpire for the no-hitter pitched by Carlos Zambrano on September 14, 2008. In 2011, Joyce, Galarraga, and author Daniel Paisner collaborated on a book based on the game, Nobody's Perfect: Two Men, One Call, and a Game for Baseball History. Following the book's release, MLB did not allow Joyce to work any games in which Galarraga would be playing, to avoid any appearance of impropriety due to their business relationship. Other notable games In September 1996, Joyce restrained fellow umpire John Hirschbeck when Hirschbeck angrily charged into the Baltimore Orioles clubhouse to confront Roberto Alomar. The day before the confrontation, Alomar had made comments about how Hirschbeck's attitude changed following the death of his son. Working third base during Game 3 of the 2013 World Series, Joyce determined Allen Craig of the St. Louis Cardinals had been obstructed when Boston Red Sox infielder Will Middlebrooks went diving after an errant throw by catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia. Craig was then awarded the winning run when home plate umpire Dana DeMuth enforced the obstruction called by Joyce. This is the only case of a World Series game ending on an obstruction call. Personal life Joyce, who lives in Washington County, Oregon, is married and has two children. In 2000, he was inducted into his high school's sports hall of fame and in 2009 he was inducted into the Irish American Baseball Hall of Fame.
