Bud Selig should do the right thing, award the perfect game and not add an asterisk either, except to say this patcher was forced to get 28 outs to make 27 count.

You think Selig really cares about a perfect game and the record books? He was the ringleader for steroid use when Bonds, McGuire, et al, were breaking HR records.

The commissioner will not intervene. It was a judgement call for the ump and no replay allowed. Can't change the deal after the fact.

I think in some twisted way the leagues want these now and then. Keeps the fans stirred up. They could eliminate 99% of these calls, but they don't. Many say they don't want to change the nature of the game (human error), but they have crossed the line with replays on foul balls down the line and out of the field.
