that was a travesty....any idiot knows that if it is even close the pitcher gets the benefit of a close call....this wasn't even close!.....another case for instant replay.
at least milt pappas still got the no-hitter after his perfect game was denied due to a poor ball/strike call by the home plate umpire. it's too bad there is nothing that will be done about this.

ReplyDeleteGreg - Per the league rules, ties go to the runner, not the defense. Though, in this case, I think that rule would have been bent.

Other umps sure could learn from him.
