One of the keys to that perfect game was an amazing ninth-inning running/jumping/off-the-wall catch by center fielder Dewayne Wise to save a home run.

The catch was so amazing that I captured excerpted footage of it from WhiteSox.com and posted it on my YouTube page.

Within 24 hours, 1,000 people had viewed the video.  By last Monday, more than 5,000 had viewed it.  All the comments were positive.

Then — I got the notice from YouTube telling me that Major League Baseball had flagged the video for copyright violations and it was removed.

Now, I’m not naive.  I thought there was a chance this would happen.  But, quite honestly, I thought/hoped Major League Baseball (MLB) was smarter than that.
