And as long as we are playing "what if" - What if the batter hits a Home Run. NOW the defense comes out and says - Hey wait - the previous pitch was actually strike 3. Are you saying still strike 3 stands?

After a subsequent pitch, uncorrectable.

Now lets go 1 further. Home run as before. A few batters later, the mistake is realized. Now what?

Same as above.

My point is - at SOME point, the incorrect call stands. If it stands in What if #2 and What if # 3, then it should stand in the original post.

Sorry, Bubba, different scenario. In the OP, a subsequent pitch or play had not been made. And what is that thing the coaches are allowed to carry in the coach's box? Oh, an indicator. And doesn't each team have someone who keep track of the game, like a scorekeeper? Do they not have some responsibility to keep track of this info?

Wasn't there a 5th down touchdown that stood as a game winning incorrect play.

Wrong board.
