“I *****ed it up. I’m the one who thought it was a *****ing foul ball. I saw it on the replay. I’m the one who ******ed it up so you can put that in your paper,” Davidson said. “Bolts and nuts, I *****ed up. You’ve just got to move on. No one feels worse about it than I do.”
These words were so eloquently spoken by MLB umpire Bob Davidson after he admitted to overruling a home run by Mets player Carlos Delgado last night. The ultimate factor in his ruling: Yankee’s shortstop Derek Jeter arguing against the call. Although clearly a home run, Jeter convinced Davidson that his call was wrong and that it should be reversed. Davidson agreed and regretted it nearly immediately.
Below is a picture of the ball ricocheting off the foul pole. This just goes to show that instant replay is indeed needed in the MLB.
