At least he owned up to his mistake...doesn't change the fact that the kid lost his - likely once in a lifetime - perfect game.

There are umps who would insist they were right - even with the evidence staring him in the face.

That's why this admission is garbage - he WAS confronted by themanager and team and the replay evidence on the field, and he refused to change his call.

Apologizing now, after he knows his refusal to speak the trugh did it's destruction, is just a perverted gloating on his part - not an apology. It's not enough that he did what he did - now he's trying to get everyone to forgive and accept him for doing what he knew was wrong.

As an aside, I'll give you one guess how he votes.
