Far as I'm concerned, he's okay and a classy guy.

Yeah I don't think this call, bad as it was, is the same as what we have been discussing recently where umpires put themselves into a game by creating a problem and then running players and managers for protesting.
If that call happens in the 1st inning it might provoke a short argument but the context of a perfect game made it infamous.
