Doug Eddings and California's third strike law

So was it a called out, or simply a called strike three? We'll never know, but it's unlikely to ever satisfy fans of the Angels who feel they were done out of an out, and as it turns out, done out of a win. Signs reading 'Chicago White Sox: Fixing games since 1919' turned up as expected in Anaheim for the next game ,and so did the boo-birds who fixated on A.J. Pierzynski and Umpire Doug Eddings. Fans cheered loudly each time Eddings, who was manning the right field line in Game 3, made a correct call of a fair or foul ball.

FYI, it was long-time New York Yankees organist Mr. Eddie Layton who is credited with writing the fan-favorite and ballpark staple "da..da..dum da dum....Charge!" Wilbur Snapp is another famous ballpark organist who made his fame by being ejected from a minor-league game after he heckled the umpires with "Three Blind Mice,".
