Some Famous People called Jim Joyce
Jim Joyce
James Alfred Joyce III (born October 3, 1955) is an American former professional baseball umpire who worked in the American League (AL) from 1987 to 1999 and throughout Major League Baseball (MLB) from 2000 to 2016. He wore uniform number 6 while in the AL and number 66 for MLB. His loud and enthusiastic strike call drew comparisons to that of retired umpire Bruce Froemming. Though his umpiring was generally praised by players and coaches, Joyce is perhaps best known for his incorrect call in Armando Galarraga's near-perfect game in June 2010.
He retired on January 16, 2017.
