I am not sure about this one, but didn't the great Roberto Clemente pass away with 2,999 hits only to have MLB review tapes and change an error to a base hit giving Clemente 3,000 hits? (I agree with this decision)
Does anyone remember any other times where MLB did something like this? I am not talking changing a hit to an error the next day.

No, it was exactly the opposite with Clemente. He had 2999 hits when he beat out an infield hit for 3000. The scorer ruled it an error instead. Next day Clemente got his 3000th hit, a clean double.
