So, on the umpire's call that robbed the perfect game, isn't it a case

of the immovable object and the irresistible force?

1. The umpire's call is final, period. Opening the slightest crack in

that, no matter how egregious the screw-up, means that we'll spend a

half hour every game with the coaches using their allowed 2 instant

replay calls per game to hope to cool off the other team, or get

theirs back together. Life is sometimes unfair, and bad calls happen.

This is a great life lesson.

2. Fair is fair, and what's the point of a baseball commissioner if he

can't once in his career use his inifinite power to right an obvious

wrong.

Please feel free to discuss, just keep the [WC] in the subject.

Thanks for your courtesy.
