So last night some guy from the Tigers pitched a perfect game for 8 and 2/3 innings. For the 27th and final out, the first base umpire called a guy safe on a play that wasn't even that close destroying the perfect game bid. Pretty shocking in that it wasn't even that close but also it was in Detroit and it was the final out. You'd almost think the ump would give it to the pitcher if was even close.
To the ump's credit, he was visibly upset and apologized to the pitcher after the game but it doesn't take away the blunder. Selig had a chance to reverse the call but chose not too.
I disagree with this and it's too bad that such a difficult accomplishment was spoiled by a botched call.
