Yes, bad calls will always be a part of the game, because we are
limited to what we see and from what angle. Also, remember, when
these plays are seen, ....or not.., it is happening in "REAL" time and
decisions need to be made accordingly. Also, I believe it was
Delgado, and not Beltran who hit the walk off home-run on Tuesday
night against San Fran.
