KANSAS CITY -- In what might have been a historic moment, umpires in the Royals-Astros game on Thursday night reversed a decision and ruled an out on a play that never really occurred.

Certainly few witnesses could remember a similar ruling that unfolded quite this way. In short, the umpires overturned an original "out" call and turned an apparent double play into just one out that allowed an inning to continue.

The fact that Jim Joyce couldn't do it is the reason that this umpiring crew did.
