Bravo mb. And it wasn't even close to a perfect game. A perfect game is 81 strikes.

Naw, a perfect game is 25 ejections before a pitch is thrown....aka a Joe West wet dream.

The biggest issue you'll find with replay is it starts to make many of your rules much more technical. Think of how technical a catch/no catch is now in football. You will end up with the same thing on what constitutes possession of a catch by a fielder either on a fly ball or a play like the Detroit game. And I guarantee the force play at second as they turn a double play would become reviewable. Slippery slope.

1 pitch, and 51 batters switching batter's boxes when the pitcher is ready to pitch.

Hahahaha.

FED: 1 pitch and 35 batters switching batter's boxes.

It is possible for a pitcher to throw a 54-hit complete game shutout and not retire a single batter.
