I just dont see how you change this call after the game is over. We have the benefit of replay. We can go back and change a ton of calls throughout history. I guarantee we can change Superbowl winners based on missed calls if we chose to. World Series winners probably. NBA championships. You cant make an exception just for this ONE missed call, and say fuck all the rest. All you can do is change the replay rule for the future to keep things like this from happening.

^ I agree to an extent, but this situation just seems like the exception to the rule. It clearly didn't have an impact on the game and the play was so obvious, let alone the fact that it should have ended the game. I think they shoulda just given the kid his perfect game.

I know what u mean man. I just think that its best when there are no grey areas. You either overturn calls after games, or you dont. Once you start saying..."we will overturn this one...because its important, and not this other one...cus its not that important" Then you make the rule subjective and only increase the chance of scrutiny. Its unfortunate, but most of the time when a rule changes...its because SOMEbody was wronged by the previous rule. Maybe this will be the catalyst that gets MLB on board with instant replay.
