For The Good Of The Game

I hadn't really plan on doing this because the problem and resolution involving this case in baseball, in general,  are so obvious.  Everyone's going to get on their soap box and wax poetic for, or against, the issues involved in the fractured perfect game.  There is a simple solution.   The Commissioner should do his job for once, be a true leader, use the most important and powerful phrase in sports "for the good of the game", and give Andres Galarraga his perfect game. Anyone who would argue against that is hiding behind rules or politics, or just plain silliness. If the Commissioner of a sport cannot, or will not, uphold the integrity of his or her sport, what is the purpose in having one.    

Credibility in life is very important.  In sports, it's no different. If  umpires can be above scrutiny and credibility, than what's the use?  Rather then get it right, baseball has chosen to let incompetence rule.  Fans have instant replay and broadcasters have instant replay, so the right call is obvious to everyone watching.  Why not get it right?  The NHL does a great job with replay; the NFL tries their best; baseball's time has come - it's obvious.  Please don't tell me how long it would take.  Fans are not the ones who complain about the length of a game. If it takes a few minutes longer, and it means your team wins the World Series,  who would complain about that?

Baseballs time has come ..."For the good of the game."
