The arument for NOT having Selig overturn it was that Baseball has had various calls questioned and it is part of the history of the game.
If they changed this call they might have to go back considering other close call perfect games as well.
The reality is most of the close call perfect games in the last 100 yrs, didn't have the kind of modern, clear video review we have now.

1. Overturning the call woiuld have no effect on the outcome of the game as the next guy was out and the game over.
2. Change the call and the pictcher gets the perfect game he deserved WITHOUT any negative trade offs.

Selig will go down as an even bigger douche should he fail to do this.

The point is that it's only been done 20 times in the history of baseball.  And, even more, it would have been the third one this year.

So, if you're a fan or not, it has historical implications on the game.  That's why it's a big deal.

Historical implications for the game of baseball. ::yawns:: Like I said, I am not a fan, so I don't see the big deal.

Now men in thong posing trunks, that's serious business.

Shouldn't overturn it.  human mistakes by umps is part of the game......now if baseball wanted to start using instant replay on them, that would be a different story.

I agree. The game played for stats is a bit selfish too. It's not like they lost the game either.

yes they should, but I dont think they will.  "purist" and all that BS.

Plus you'll have 500 d-bags coming out tomorrow saying other calls that need to be reversed.

Floodgates and all. I bet die-hards have laundry lists of calls they would want reversed. And what about seeing a game live, then having the outcome changed days later. Cities would burn to the ground.

I have experienced a reversed call, I slowly made my way out of the stadium taking alternate routes to avoid confrontation.

A true conservative would NEVER agree to the changing of a call after it's already been recorded in the books.

If the coach argues and the umpire then changes his mind on the spot, that's one thing, but not after the game has already been declared final. 

It's one thing to change an error to the fielder's choice the following day, but you absolutely cannot change a ball into a strike, regardless of what the replay shows.

You liberal.

Precisely. 

If each team was allowed a 'coach's challenge' that used video replay, then a coach could challenge that call within the rules. 

But what if he'd used his challenge already?  Too bad. 

But as it stands, there is no video challenge in baseball, so we live with the game with the rules as written.

I'm surprised to see so many staunch wannabe conservatives revealing themselves to be such liberals here.

exactly.  baseball never adopted what football and basketball has.  The ump made a big mistake but it IS part of the game of baseball.  It's to bad but so are alot of things like that.

I agree...baseball goes down the road of faggetry instant replay, red flag tossin pussies and thats the day I give up on all sports....baseball is my fav sport for this very reason. I praise Selig for standing ground and NOT opening the floodgates to future "replays". Maybe I'm just old skool

Overturning it opens a whole can of worms...every time there is a bad call at a big moment in a game in any sport, people will want it "overturned".

Tough luck for that kid but thems the breaks. shit happens
