Umpire Pat Hoberg Called a \'Perfect Game\' In Game 2 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Tue Nov 1, 2022 12:19 pm

Home plate umpire Pat Hoberg call a \"perfect game\" in Game 2 of the World Series between the Philadelphia Phillies and Houston Astros on Saturday. 

According to the Umpire Scorecards on Twitter, Hoberg called each of the game\'s 129 pitches correctly in the Astros\' 5-2 win.

Hoberg, 36, was calling his first World Series game in his career after serving as a reserve umpire in Game 1 of the World Series.

Earlier in the 2022 season, Hoberg was one missed call away from calling a \"perfect game\" when he went 122-for-123 in a game between the Phillies and Colorado Rockies.

Umpires should get some sort of per-game bonus for reaching a certain percentage of correct calls. Too many times that a zone is wildly inaccurate and inconsistent.
