Poor guy. As a Tigers fan, I'm used to being disappointed... but this was a once in a lifetime game and it was robbed from the guy due to an umpire watching the wrong base...or whatever he was doing. Worst blown call I've ever seen. Ever. Especially given the circumstances. So we should have instant replay at 1st base by next season after this.
i still can't believe that call!!! SUCH A BS CALL! The calls just getting worse and worse, as if last year was bad enough!
They should have replay, I've been saying it for years and it's a shame this guy got robbed of a perfect game. But what happens if this same play is the last play of a world series? You just can't have everything up to umpires when you have technology. But for all intensive purposes he did pitch a perfect game, we all know he pitched it so who cares what the history books said? It's like if the NCAA took away a national championship from USC, we all saw them win it so what does it matter?
^ Completely agree with you there!! I was also impressed the way he handled himself at that moment as well as after the game!!!
