It was outside all the way and never had a chance to catch any of the plate. The camera is right in line with the mound and the plate and it was waaay outside. Even Greg Maddux thought it was several inches wide. This was no reward for "hitting the glove". The catcher had to reach to pick it. Ugh. Ball four scores the tieing run. Bad time to give the too-wide strike.
And, while embarassing on replay, I agree that no apology should be offered. A public apology serves no purpose here.
They kicked another one in the next day's game and Leyland got tossed arguing it.
