You don't even need to make it to MiLB to be infallable. Just go to a pro school or even attend the Arizona Classic and the sun rises and sets in your calls.

OR be a coach sitting at the far end of the first base dugout and you can make every call at both third base and the plate!

Some of our mistakes are correctable, but I think a Foul Ball call must stand, unless it is changed to a Home Run.

The reason is that there is no reasonable way to determine what would have happened. I think that is why it is specifically spelled out in some rule sets that a Foul call can not be changed, unless it is for a Home Run.

I'd love to attend the AZ Classic. My vacation time is limited to use with my wife and sons for the most part. In the not too distant future I'll probably take the time to do it though. Maybe we can share a room.
