Honestly, I saw this on TV, and while it looked a bit outside, it was also curving out - where the catcher caught it was way outside, but I'm still not positive this missed the plate - and certainly not egregiously. I'm VERY surprised to hear an apology on this one. Save the I'm Sorry's for the truly historical mistakes, and live by your call the other 99.999% of the time.

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. |

Well if Greg Maddux said so...
