Default Re: Selig Won't Reverse Call

It's baseball. Played by people and refereed by people. The ump blew it. The game is over. The ump can't change the call. It is in the books, but by damn, the commissioner should be able to change the error. I'm all for all for not changing baseball from the way it has been played all these years. But Selig should protect the integrity of the game.

From Wikipedia:
Integrity in modern ethics
In a formal study of the term "integrity" and its meaning in modern ethics, law professor Stephen L. Carter sees integrity not only as a refusal to engage in behavior that evades responsibility[citation needed], but also as an understanding of different modes or styles in which discourse attempts to uncover a particular truth.[citation needed]
Carter writes that integrity requires three steps: "discerning what is right and what is wrong; acting on what you have discerned, even at personal cost; and saying openly that you are acting on your understanding of right from wrong." He regards integrity as being distinct from honesty.[5]

# [5] Carter, Stephen L (1996). Integrity. New York: BasicBooks/HarperCollins. pp. 7, 10. ISBN 0-06-092807-7. On page 242 Carter credits influence "to some extent by the fine discussion of integrity in Martin Benjamin's book Splitting the Difference: Compromise and Integrity in Ethics and Politics (Lawrence University Press of Kansas, 1990).


Do the right thing, Bud, you're the commissioner.
