In your opinion, where does this blown call rank ALL TIME in baseball history? Not just under the circumstances, but the call itself?
Whats the WORST call ever and why?

Maybe we can get Obama and congress to pass a bill that over turns it and then every bad call in baseball history will be over turn. The country is going off a cliff cause Obama and the democrats and all you worried about is a blown call in a baseball game get a life.

Perhaps in the top 5; not the worst considering overall impact on the game itself.
Don Deckinger's blown call in 1985 cost the St Louis Cardinals a World Series title.

If you ignore the circumstances, it's pretty run of the mill as bad calls go. That ball in the playoffs that I think Mauer hit that landed about 5 feet fair right in front of the umpire but was ruled a foul ball was among the worst calls I've seen (when ignoring the circumstances). I mean the guy was looking right at it and it was a really easy call. It went my teams way, but it was just dumb.

It's not the worst call ever, it didn't change the outcome at all. Now, look up Game #6 in the 1985 World Series. THAT was the worst ever.

there have been calls with bigger impacts on the outcomes of seasons and games, but most are usually close calls that are hard to see in regular motion. This call was pretty obvious to anyone with eyes and slow mo made it look laughably bad.

I would have to say the Jeffrey Maier game in the 1996 ALDS with the Yankees and Orioles.
