The point is...it can be changed if they want to do it. And they are considering it.

The "dangerous precedent" and "big can of worms" argument is a chicken sh*t response to a once in a lifetime play & event.

Every once in awhile, leaders need to snap in their spine & do the right thing. Hopefully this will be one of those times.

Totally disagree with that. Where would it stop? What are they going to do, implement a rule that the commish could only overturn the 27th and final out of a perfect game if called wrong? What would have happened if he was actually safe and ruled out? Would they overturn that call and take the kid out of the record books? I highly doubt it.

It sucks and it was a bad call. The more I think about it, I just think that it's very poor luck for Galaragga.

And what would have happened if the next guy doubled, he walked the next two and they hit a grand slam to win the game? Now are you going to rule the game was really over before all that happened?
