The Los Angeles Angels' request to reverse a scoring change that ended Nolan Schanuel's on-base streak was denied by Major League Baseball (MLB). Initially recorded as a single, Schanuel's hit was later changed to an error, thus halting his streak at 30 games. Despite extensive discussions with the league office, the decision remained unchanged. This retroactive scoring decision has sparked outrage among Angels broadcasters and fans, with one announcer calling it 'An Absurdity' and highlighting it as part of 'Negative story after negative story, scandal after scandal...' surrounding MLB.
