I wonder if MLB will do the right thing here. For that matter, I wonder if they can.

As I just said on Twitter, he's the new Harvey Haddix right now.

Responses:

didn't they reinstitute George Brett's HR after the pine tar incident? -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 18:08 4
- They did but it's a different situation. -- nm - David Jun 2, 18:11 3
  - afterthefact change to a play that was a huge incident at the time. I would say giving a guy a HR would be bigger than taking away a single... -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 18:12 2
    - There are some things they can appeal to the scorers but those have to be done right away. - the liioulu with odd day Jun 2, 18:15
    - but that was an equipment issue. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! Jun 2, 18:13
I was actually just reading about this the other day. In the Harvey Haddix game, the NL president changed a HR to a double because a player passed - Reagen Jun 2, 18:07
There is some kind of appeal process, but I don't know what it applies to and how it works. -- nm - the liioulu with odd day Jun 2, 18:06
I was just going to ask the question. Would it be worse for them to fix it when they don't fix other mistakes? - Redmond, Gemma fan! Jun 2, 18:06 12

  - usually, I'd say that; but I'm a little torn on this one. so egregious and at the exact wrong time. -- nm - b. Jun 2, 18:12 9

      - Are there cases where it would be alright to reverse it? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 2, 18:22 1

      - and if they did reverse that would be a totally different shitstorm. and it would probably be as huge. -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 18:17 5
        
        if they do it opens up a Pandora's Box. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 18:19 4
        
        yup, especially for a perfect game -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 18:19
        
        I hope it's the impetus for the sport to get out of the dark ages. -- nm - David Jun 2, 18:19 2
        
        But they make so much money on night games. - the liioulu with odd day Jun 2, 18:22
        
        Let's start with a salary cap. -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! Jun 2, 18:20
  - I agree -- nm - Redmond, Gemma fan! Jun 2, 18:10
