On June 2, 2010, Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga was one out away from one of baseball's rarest feats: a perfect game. Jason Donald hits a ground ball to first, a toss to Galarraga covering and he's done it! No! The first base umpire inexplicably calls Donald safe and the perfect game is gonzo.
Who was that first base umpire?

2017 saw the Tour begin in Dusseldorf, and while it was a British rider, Geraint Thomas, who won the opening stage, German fans did get some joy in Stage 2 when a local sprinter won the stage and took the green sprint jersey. This rider had already had some success, winning the Tour's opening and final stages in both 2013 and 2014. He'd go on to win four more stages in the 2017 Tour, though his struggles in the intermediate hill stages meant he was not able to hold onto the green jersey. Name this German sprinter.
