Galarraga deserves a “*” by his name...it is a perfect game as far as I’m concerned. It’s simply another sign the game has gone down a notch...with second-class umps now working for the major leagues.
Remember George Brett and the pine tar HR? The league stepped-in after the game and changed the call. They have done it many times.
Every day, prior games are revised; errors are turned into hit retroactively, hits into errors, etc. It happens ALL THE TIME.
There is absolutely NO reason MLB can't correct this clear error and give him his perfect game, none. They have made changes before, and as I said, are revising finished games all of the time.
Selig is spineless. Change the damn call and spare this umpire and give the kid his DESERVED chunk of history.

If I was Commissioner I would have made a rule exception due to extraordinary circumstances and made sure Galarraga got his perfect game recognized. Major League baseball blew it. Perfect games are so rare that an exception is in order
