Jim Joyce, MLB Umpire who kicked a call that cost a pitcher a perfect game.

He knew he kicked the call.
His partners knew he kicked the call.

My question to you is, why didn't they get together and get it right?

He did not realize it until after seeing a replay in the locker room after the game. Up until that point in time, he believed he had it right. And, IMO, it wasn't as obvious as you make it sound. Any other game this probably wouldn't even have blip on anyone's radar, but this game was magnified by the situation.

If you can find the replay from the CF camera, you can see that the pitcher did not close the glove around the ball right of way. I can see what may have given Joyce a problem, but he didn't mention it in his interview.
