This ump calls the batter safe. Why is it the worst call ever? 9th inning 2 outs and the pitcher has a PERFECT GAME....1 more out....hits it to the first baseman, the pitcher goes to first, catches it, with foot on bag, clearly an out and the ump calls it safe. Next play he gets the batter out. After the game the pitcher saw that he was out and not safe and then knew he got robbed. THEN the ump says sorry to the pitcher realizing he just screwed him over of a perfect game. God im mad just hearing that he got robbed like that. 

While it is bad the ump missed the call.
Thumbs up to the comish for deciding NOT to over turn the call and not * that game. He said something like "we need to keep that human element in the game."
Plus if he did this, he would have to over turn every single bad call like:
the Braves games with Bill Hohn, because he screwed us out of playoffs with ejecting our players/manager for no reason, and made many, upon many bad calls on just us the 6 games he umpired us as the crew chief.

I think MLB should wake up and start using instant replay like football and hockey does.  Forget keeping the human element in the game... i think it's more important to get the correct call.

Just my opinion...
