This wasn't the first batter, this was the last batter, or should have been. And nothing of import or note occured after the blown call. Simply another out.
The commissioner of baseball is a god-like position. He can simply announce that this is a one-time only ruling that should not be used cited as a precedent for any other ruling.
The particular circumstances of this particular blown call make it a no-brainer to correct.

I’m just saying, just because it’s the last batter really doesn’t make any difference...a blown call is just as blown in the 1st inning as the last...when you start “Fixing” games, there’s really no rationale to stop at “the last batter”...magritte

Instant replay for close home runs, foul balls, base running, fan interference, and stolen bases.
NOT for balls / strikes.

I tend to agree with that.
