With two outs in the eighth inning with the Yankees leading 2-1, Willie Bloomquist was thrown out by 6 feet with a perfect throw from Jorge Posada and a perfect tag from Robinson Cano. This throw out was in fact so perfectly executed, it baffled second-base umpire Gerry Davis who called Blooquist safe. A bloop single on the next pitch score Bloomquist to tie the game, and Adrian Beltre hit a homerun with two out in the ninth for the shocking win. Replay showed Cano clearly catching the ball and applying the tag to Bloomquist’s backside in one motion as he began his head-first slide a good four or five away from second base. Give Davis credit however for publicly admitting he blew the call, but if he makes the right call, Bloomquist doesn’t score in the eighth and Beltre doesn’t bat in the ninth and Yankees win. The story carried over to the next day when callers flooded email and phone calls into sports radio talk shows. The general question was “how can this happen?”. Why can’t baseball come up with a way to quickly and efficiently reverse obvious mistakes like this one that changed the game’s outcome?
