But why not ask for help, considering the importance of the game and the fact the he was sheilded from the tag.

Because, and I quote, "if he gonna be out, he's gonna be out."
If Larussa didn't ask, why would the umpire? Do you really want the game to come to this, "I got an out , unless someone else has something different."!!! How about this, "Blue, that looked like a strike, can you get help with that pitch?" "Sure coach, does any other umpire have a different call?"
Where does this need sickness for perfection, in an unperfect sport stop?
Batters hit ONLY 30% or less. Which means, pitchers are only perfect 70 - 80% of the time. Now you take in consideration errors, mental mistakes and bad days, and I bet you have a League of nothing but players that are at best around 60% perfect. They call them professionals and the best.
Now when the officials turn out to be only 95 to 98% effective, and I bet its closer to 98%. Well they call those guys Bums, that are ruining a good game.
GO FIGURE??????????????????????
