1) THAT was a bad call.
2) For those who don't like the idea of instant replay THAT call might just force baseball to introduce even MORE areas for instant replay.
3) Someone brought up Larsen's perfect game in the World Series and how it ended on a questionable third strike call. Well, that was back then and technology wasn't that great to show whether it was a strike or not. Tonight's call was CLEARLY wrong and the technology is there to prove it.
Also, unlike a bad ball or strike call, Outs on the basepaths CAN be argued about and they CAN be overturned. In this instance, the umpires should have gotten together and discussed things.
Since they didn't overturn it, Selig should grow a pair and overturn the call. It wont change the game because THAT should have been the last out and the Tigers won anyway. Unlike the 1985 World Series when the bad call was made.
