Jim Joyce is baseball's best umpire, according to an exclusive ESPN The Magazine Baseball Confidential poll.

Joyce's missed call deprived Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga of a perfect game on June 2.

In general, players think the umpires are pretty good.

Overall, 29 percent of the players surveyed gave the umpires a "B" grade, with 20 percent giving them a "C" and 16 percent and "A."
