Why can't MLB just put in the record books that Galarraga pitched a perfect game with an asterisk about the umps blown call? Leave the box score alone.
1. Mr. Pleasant -- The Kinks
2. Never Talking to You Again -- Husker Du

I don't think I'm on board with the asterisk. At what point do we stop annotating the record books? Only perfect games? Should a no-hitter with a questionable decision by the scorer to grant an error to keep it intact be *'d? Baseball is just as much about the oral traditions as it is the numbers, so Galarraga's accomplishment will always be considered perfect even if not officially designated so.
It wasn't a perfect game, so no asterisk. It SHOULD have been a perfect game, but them's the breaks.

I felt bad for all concerned. It was a perfect game in my book. Your Twins sure came to Seattle at the wrong time. The M's couldn't hit their way out of a paper bag 2 weeks ago. They seem to be in the midst of an unexpected spasm of competence ...
