from another MLB old timer I understand your thoughts. In a case of a 100% error such as this....I feel that in this instance it should be overturned. the game that we have revered for a long time will survive.
It will survive either way IMO. Can’t have the commissioner over ruling judgement calls. Change the rules, if you dare. Remember there are purists in the tens of millions.
In the 1992 World Series in one of the more spectacular defensive plays Toronto executed a triple play but the umpire ruled the final out safe. The players argued for a while but failed to change the umps mind. Replays showed the final tag out had been made and in a very rare instance the ump in a post game press conference admitted he blew the call however his call stood as it had to since changing it would have changed the whole order of the game now completed. It would have been only the second triple play in World Series history.
