The peak of bad calls?
This is pretty bad, I'm not sure about worst of all time, but yeah, it's awful officiating.

I was a high school umpire for two seasons. In my first season I was umpiring a game with severe wind. Man on first and second. Kid hit a foul ball out of the stadium between home plate and the dugout. The wind gusted and blew the ball back into the stadium and just fair 20 feet up the first base line. It caused havoc! Defense got a double play, first base coach was irate. I SHOULD have called it an infield fly. But neither me nor the first base ump had signaled the call. We huddled and pulled out our umpire books scouring for an answer about application of the infield fly rule, but we couldn't find diddly! We let the play stand and played the rest of the game under protest. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

I've seen videos of high school punts into heavy winds. One, the punter caught his own punt. The second, the punt ended up landing behind him.

No bad call will ever be worse than the Armando Gallaraga "imperfect game" call in my mind.

Agreed. What a travesty.

Agreed. What a horrible call. If MLB can completely change baseball statistics by adding the Nergro league stats, they why can't they change that blown call to give credit for that perfect game?
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. Bob |

MLB will never open that can of worms, MLB would be obligated to review and overturn every bad call that happened before instant replay, can't do it for one and not others.

But they did just that for Clemente.

They didn't make a change for Clemente, unless they knew and did it before his last season.
It was known as hit 3000 when it happened. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsmqqPxb_xM |

Non-call at end of today's Mets game was pretty dreadful.

I agree. Plus, I think it makes Gallaraga's "perfect" game that much more memorable. I don't even remember who pitched the last perfect game, but I will always remember that one.

Phillies @ Braves, Monday, April 12. 2021
Last night's call at the plate was awful...from every replay angle...what are they viewing? '...no definitive proof that the runner didn't tag the plate'???
On a National Telecast even! https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/...d-phillies-win .
