"The Worst Call Ever!"

The Worst Call Ever! The Most Infamous Calls Ever Blown by Referees, Umpires, and Other Blind Officials is a book by Kyle Garlett and Patrick O'Neal. If you have ever questioned an umpire or a referee's vision, intelligence, or integrity, this is a must read. You will find a pantheon of blown and missed calls from all corners of the sports world. Many of these calls had direct impact on national and world titles. It is a great read.

The one exception I take to this book is that Kent Hrbek did not pull Ron Gant off the base in the 1991 World Series, and therefore was no a blown call. For your view pleasure following is a video evidence to support that.

The Rox and Sox

The first two games of the World Series are in the books. The Red Sox seem to be rolling. Could this be another short series? Since the early 1990s, there have only been three World Series that went the full seven games ('97, '01, and '02). 2004 and 2005 saw sweeps, while last year there were only five games.

I am still able to stay awake for only about the first half of the game. My kids are able to catch about 1 or 2 innings. Is that what you want, Dud Selig? Do you want kids to miss the World Series? The World Series contain some great memories from childhood for me.
