I am arguing about this with someone else. Seriously, who really gives a fuck. Its a kids game played by adults. Move on. So, you didn't get your perfect game! WAAAAHHHHH. Life sucks. I don't know, I am not big into sports, so I don't see the point.

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.

Selig's never done the right thing anyway, so I doubt anything happens.

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.

Good point. But that human could not have made a bigger mistake.

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.
