Default Re: Selig Won't Reverse Call

I kinda agree that you can't overturn a bad call by instant replay to save a perfect game on one hand, but also think Joyce obviously knew it was the last out for a perfect game and coulda been a little more favorable on a close call on another hand.

The game was won, history about to be made and the call had to be real favorable to give it to the runner.

I'm also wondering if Gallaraga might get more notice by the no-call as he would have with the perfect game he really pitched. Not that it matters.

I also find it a bit curious how leisurely Cabrera made the throw to first on a fairly routine groundball considering what was at stake.

The image that sticks with me the most from all this is how classy Gallaraga remained in an era of so many crybabies in professional sports.
