Rewriting history

I feel as badly for Armando Galarraga as anyone but if hapless commissioner Bud Selig overturns Jim Joyce's blown call and gives Galarraga a perfecto, he also has to overturn Don Denkinger's blown call in the 1985 World Series.

If Selig wrongly overturns this call, I hope everyone in St. Louis marches to the Commissioner's Offices in both New York and Milwaukee and riots until that happens.

Joyce's blown call altered a historical feat but didn't even alter the outcome of a game. Denkinger's blown call altered the outcome of an entire season.
