A Perfect Game Postscript: Wise, Obama, and a Question

The ESPN crew breaking down the perfect game including the DeWayne Wise highlight about 1:28 in:



That has to be one of the best catches ever, especially considering the circumstances. Mark Buehrle said he owes DeWayne Wise more than a steak sandwich for that one. I would agree. Maybe a new watch.

And after he pitched a perfect game, he got a call from the White Sox most famous fan, Barack Obama:



Also, a question: a perfect game is 27 up, 27 down, no hits, walks, hit batters, or errors. But let's say the last batter pops one up but the catcher drops it in foul territory. They give him an error. But the pitcher gets the guy out on the next pitch. Is it a perfect game? I think it should be, but technically, because of the error is it one? If anyone can answer that correctly, they get big kudos, because no one has ever been able to answer that for me.
