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.

you are correct reg. that game. great series by the way, In this instance tho,the game’s continuance was not changed, the outcome or possible outcome, is not changed. there is no reason MLB can’t give that classy young man his perfect game. he was just on with Suttcliffe on the national game....damn what an outstanding young fellow. pure class and sportsmanship. great to see. did not bang on the ump at all. then ya have the thugs in the NFL and the NBA................
