Don't think any of Ruth's home runs could have been on the wrong side of the foul pole? Don't think WaJo or Matty ever benefitted from a call? C'mon. The reason we love this game is because it is human and subject to interpretation and wouldn't work if it was any other way.

Couldn't agree more
For those who say it isn't a real no hitter, I believe you couldn't be more wrong.
I don't see anyone taking away the Royals championship in 1985 because of a bad call.
If anyone thinks there weren't controversial calls before TV than their just fooling themselves. Now add slow mo instant replay from many camara angles.
I'll go as far as to say that the umpires of today are better then any previous generation.
Congratulations to all Met fans. Gooden, Cone, Ryan, Seaver all pitched no no's after leaving the Mets. Now they have of their own.
