Talk to the 1985 Cardinals. They're still waiting for the Royals to tell Don Denkinger that he made the wrong call at first base in game 6.

In contrast, Twins fans will gleefully tell you that Drew Coble correctly called Ron Gant out in Game 2 of the 1991 WS. And no, Hrbek did not pull him off the bag, regardless of what that whining windbag Tim McCarver (RIP) kept moaning.
