This is frustrating on so many levels, and Selig is a coward (again).

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.

That was a rules interpretation, not a judgment call. Teams may protest a perceived misinterpretation of the rules, but not a judgment call such as Jim Joyce's blown call.
