Selig should overrule.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I really think Selig should overrule. Is there any precedent for such a thing?

Not really. You can't protest an umpire's judgment call, only whether or not a rule was correctly applied.
The only thing I can think of that comes close is that when Randy Johnson pitched 20 strikeouts in 9 innings in what turned out to be an extra innings game, they didn't initially give him credit for tying Clemens & Wood because it was an extra innings game. Since Johnson only pitched 9 innings, they reversed that decision to give him credit for it. But this is different. That's only a question of how a record is to be treated (a la Maris' 61 homers with an asterisk). This would require reversing an umpire's call on the field after the game. I don't think there's a mechanism for that. Plus what do you do with that 28th out?

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
