The rules of the game may not allow it. Earlier this year, France beat Ireland in a qualifying match for the World Cup on an illegal play. The French player touched the ball twice before scoring and the ref missed it. The player even admitted he was wrong. People from all over the world wanted the play overturned. The governing bodies said their rules and laws didn't allow them to over rule a call on the field.

I'm assuming it's the same in baseball.

I have another question. Let's assume the guy was safe, but was called out and the perfect game was in the books.

Who would have the (base)balls to take the perfect game away the next day?

The whole baseball world celebrated, the guy thinks he's in the record books, but ESPN's replay shows the guy was safe.

Think they'd be the same outcry?
