O/T Is This The Worst Call You’ve Ever Seen?
I am going to say yes and I have seen thousands if not 10s of thousands of calls in my 50 yrs of playing baseball/softball. It's because both umpires missed it, that it is so bad.
2nd pic down is the video (and I see this was already posted in the Water Cooler section earlier today. Thanks for putting that one in the correct place, Steve) https://sports.yahoo.com/worst-blown...024126147.html .

Both umpires were asleep on that one. Being a baseball umpire myself it always helps if your partner can help you out when miss such an obvious call. Hard to believe they both missed it. Wow!

It seemed good enough for an O/T for more baseball oriented folks to see. It's pretty amazing. Both umpires not watching the ball or play whatsoever.

I saw that one earlier with a coworker. Neither of us have ever seen a worse call that we can recall. Hard to imagine neither saw him swing the bat.

Just think if Galarraga had the benefit of instant replay in 2010. He'd be immortalized in baseball history rather than being a foot note. Since it would have been the last out, it would have been nice to overturn the call and give the perfect game to Galarraga. Especially since the next batter became the last out. Sure, that's saying it breaks tradition of baseball being an imperfect game because of the human factor, but they do instant replay now anyway, so why not?

I’m not blind, I think that stakes play a role in it all. That’s why I originally said, “in a vacuum..” Anyone who needs hyperbole to undermine a rational argument is a silly goofball 🤪
