Do you think they will ever overturn Armando Galarragas perfect game blown call?

Every year I think about that call by Jim Joyce every baseball season. I keep seeing bits of the possibility of some day getting that corrected in the history books. Not sure how that could be done, but with the replay all sports has now, it almost seems like it should be. I was a pitcher all my life and that honor of a perfect game (at any level) is like having the winning lottery pick. It is one of the most impossible records to have in any sport. I know we all feel the same way about Jim Joyce and he is human, but in that situation and its a bang bang call, that should have never been a safe call. Not sure what he was really thinking at that moment, but his statement of "I thought he beat the throw" should have never been a thought. Sorry to bring this up, but with MLB kicking off here soon, I am looking forward to Opening Day and week!

Nope. Would open up a bad precedent.

Everyone remembers this “Perfect One- Hit Game”. Does anyone remember Mark Buehler’s perfect game? Anyone? Dallas Braden’s? Tom Browning’s? So, no, it shouldn’t be overturned.

I actually remember Mark Buehler's perfect game. I was watching at the time. Also remember JV's no hitters, and most of Ryans no hitters, and Clemens no hitters.

No need to, the game is immortalized because it wasn't a perfect game. I dare you to name the last perfect game in the majors without looking it up?

By fans. Though I'm pretty sure Galarraga wish he had the actual perfect game.

MLB Responds to Petition to GIve Galarraga Perfect Game

From the article: Galarraga, however, is at peace with the final decision because the moment has brought him to this point and it is still a moment in baseball history, despite having an asterisk next to it.

"I don't really regret anything that happened," Galarraga said. "That history will bring you to this point, It's a process. I wouldn't change it."

Though, he would still like to see it happen at some point in his lifetime.

"Yes, 100%," Galarraga said. "And if they do it, do it when I'm alive not when I'm dying."
