They aren’t going to change the call but it will be viewed and replayed so many times that few will ever deny that it was actually a perfect game.
Is Arnold Rothstein friends with this umpire? /s
Just saw the replay as I am watching my beloved NYY...
He was out by a step...that is just wrong.
The you tube video of the last play already had a number of death threats toward the umpire.
I found out about it through your post, and after reviewing the tape, I agree with you.
One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen. He was not just out, he was out by a mile.
You honestly think the Commissioner of Baseball reads FR??????????
If I read the schedule correctly, they’ll be there again tomorrow afternoon.
Baseball sucks, too slow.
Football is the new American pastime.
This is one of those times I can only think to say ‘Get a Life !’
Ain’t no way, no how, not in this lifetime, that you’re gonna seem ‘em wind back the clock and change the outcome of an officially scored and completed game. Never has happened, to my knowledge, and never will ( nor SHOULD it ).
See, doin’ that just ain’t ‘baseball’. There’s no do-overs in baseball. The Ump blew the call ? Deal with it. Sometimes, it goes the other way, too ... Do you know how many so-called ‘perfect games’ were blown by the ‘Official Scorer’. Way too many ...
And ... just in case it hasn’t occurred to you, this is a ‘Game’. It’s not particularly significant WHAT the ‘quality’ of the outcome was or why it went that way. Detroit won; the pitcher records a W. At the end of the season, that’s ALL that will matter.
One Man’s Opinion ...

No he doesn't, the integrity of the game remains intact now. It is what it is, a bad call by an umpire. It's happened since the first pitch was ever thrown and will happen until the final pitch is thrown. It's a beautiful game played by humans who aren't perfect and umpired by humans who aren't perfect.........and that bad call serves as a reminder of that fact.
The truth be known, had this turned out to be a no hitter then Galaragga would just be another addition to that statistic who nobody will remember 50 or 5 years from now.
But due to the bad call, he and the umpire will be remembered forever...........
I once lost a racquetball tournament finals match due to the referee calling a skipped ball on me when all the spectators watching knew it hadn't skipped......
Stuff like that happens every day in sports, if it didn't then it would start to get boring......
