I know we could cover every what if there is, like are we even having this conversation if this call happened in the 2nd inning? Probably not.
But I'll admit at first I was kind of hoping that MLB would do the right thing. But the more I think about it, they just can't. Granted it was an injustice, but unfortunately that's a part of the game. There is probably a blown call or 2 in the the previous 20 perfect games that were pitched (going with or against the pitcher in the books). If this is about getting the call right and putting Galaragga in the books, don't they owe it to history to go back and purge whatever pitcher got into the books due to a wrong call that went his way? I just think MLB would be entering dangerous territory.
