That Would Sure Tick ME Off

Ninth inning.

Two outs.

A Perfect Game.

And the umpire- a veteran- blows the call.

Then admits it later when watching the replay.

It would have been was the 3rd perfect game this season. There have only been 20 (+this one) in major league history.

Somehow, mea culpa doesn't quite make it.

    i'm an amateur umpire and i've watched parks explode in front of me when i made a call that i obviously got wrong. there's no way around it and its a major reason why baseball is very much a human game where mistakes WILL be made.
    i felt badly for Galaraga but i was just sick for the umpire because he had to eat that and live with that mistake forever.
