If im gallaraga i don't need him to reverse the call. I would know i threw a perfect game and so does everyone else. Bud could just make it official but he DID throw a perfect game.

my issue with changing it would be the joy is really in the immediate aftermath of the perfecto.



So since he didn't get to have the joy of celebrating after the perfect game they should just continue to kill his joy by now awarding him the perfect game. Awesome.

agreed. This will go down in baseball history probably more than if Joyce got the call right. People will forget Braden and Halliday over time, this one will stick around forever and it is a perfect game in the minds of everyone involved

i still think since he retired the next batter he faced even after the blown call he should get a no-hitter and an error on the umpire.

we need umpire errors.

6 perfect games since 1990 lost in the 9th, either the last out or one lost in extra innings


ESPN said earlier that 10 perfect games have been lost with one out left in the game.

Except he didn't throw a perfect game. Has a call ever been overturned in the MLB? I could be wrong, but I don't thing there has been. A perfect game is getting 27 batters out without letting 1 on base. He didn't do that. Currently, human error is part of the game. The call was completely wrong, but it was still made.

I don't know if Gallarraga(sp) had a clause in his contract for throwing a perfect game, but I bet he makes some cash on this 1 hitter outside of baseball. Latenight shows etc.

yes he did. There is a difference between the batter being out and being called out. He was out. He was called safe.

One of the few things that Selig has done right.

You reverse this call, then you're opening up an insane can of worms...

I think they should change the rules. If an umpire admits to blowing a call on the 27th out of a perfect game, then the call will be overturned and a perfect game awarded.

IMO he can award him a perfect game and leave the box score alone. Why? Cause he's the freaking commissioner.

I don't think anyone would object to a reversal...except maybe the guy who was credited with the hit
