The Controversial Call

     Winning is not everything, although winning is great!!! I am grateful to watch history in the making with the baseball playoff postseason, where there is sportsmanship, fair play, and a game to play. While we may only think of baseball as a game, it is also a representation of your city, state, or nation. However; I was thinking about the controversial call that was made by the umpire / referees in Game 4, ALCS between Houston Astros vs. Red Sox, with regards to the home run. I clearly saw that there was no fan interference, and that in fact the ball was not caught by the Red Sox player. Jose Altuve did in fact hit a home run, that had the potential of two home runs. This call was not the right decision, and I absolutely disagree with the bad call made by the umpire. Just because someone is an umpire it does not mean that one cannot make a wrong judgment, where in fact one can. While it must also be noted that I am not writing in defence of Jose Altuve because I'm an Astros fan or not, it is because I believe that this was a wrong decision and needs to be revised, even if the game 4 is over. This thought is also reflective of learning and professions. Just because someone is qualified, has certain credentials or a professional, one would hope and put trust in those individuals, but it does not mean that error cannot occur.

With that said, lets keep the spirit of sportsmanship alive, lets keep the atmosphere of baseball alive!! Don't let politics or even personal bias interfere with the spirit of the game.  

Good luck to all the teams who are still competing!!
