Remember George Brett and the pine tar HR? The league stepped-in after the game and changed the call.

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.

Even so, as I said before, errors are retroactively turned into hits, and hits into errors. That's a judgment call.

Heck, just recently Hack Wilson was given a 161st RBI for his record season, decades after the fact.

The League absolutely can fix this.
