I'm not even a Detroit fan but that call that robbed the perfect game makes me cry every time I see it

These calls give me physical pain.

The Galarraga play was heartbreaking all around - especially Jim Joyce's tearful apology for blowing the call.

0:04 even the pitch is like "wow, really?"

Jim Joyce destroying the perfect game with 2 outs in the 9th will always go down as the worst call in MLB history.

some of these calls are physically painful to watch

We just gonna ignore that batter at 9:50 getting tripped up by grass ninjas

This reminds me of that scene in The Naked Gun where in order to keep a bomb from going off at the end of a baseball game, Leslie Nelson dresses up as an Ump and can't let the game finish, so he makes terrible call after terrible call to keep it going. lol Go watch it, it's hilarious xD

I wouldn't consider the last one a bad call it was really close

Do these umps ever see their mistakes and go wtf did I just do

MLB rules state that all controversial calls go in favor of the Yankees.

1:28 in my day you had to touch the base to score

When Kent Herbeck pulled Ron Gant off 1st base, that was pure bullshit.

As a tigers fan I will never forgive Jim Joyce

I'm a life long Braves fan and that infield fly call almost caused me to kick my tv in.

Many of those calls were Williamsport worthy but nothing can ever top the blown perfect game call. To the Umps credit, he admitted it and was truly remorseful.

The last one wasn't that bad, it was a really close play.

That last one is hardly a "worst" call. That one is the true definition of a "bang bang" play. Almost simultaneous arrival. Could have gone either way.

I find it amazing how the victims of these calls found it in themselves to not punch the umpires into oblivion

I really hope the MLB gives Galarraga a perfect game in the record books some day. It was the last out and he was out. There was no "what if", it was a perfect game

As a Cardinals fan, i completely agree the infield fly call was outrageous

Im blind im plump i wanna be an ump

8:59 im rick harrison and this is my pawn shop

*outfielder catches a fly ball* Umpire: "...SAFE!"

The fan interference at 7:35, to this day, still pisses me off on how it was called.

That smug smirk after Ortiz confronts him on the 3rd strike tells me something...

That Ben Zobrist one will forever have me in tears LMFAOOOOOOOOO

When even the pitcher to the other team is saying "Wow" to a strike call, you know you've made a shitty call as an ump.

Why does it seem like every bad call involves the NYY?

"HUGE break for the yankees" yea, no shit

To this day I still get peeved when I see the replay of the fan reaching over the wall and taking the ball away from Tony Tarasco. As a lifelong Orioles fan that is one of the biggest gut punches with the '79 World Series a close second being up 3-1 and losing to the Bucs.

“I think that’s a bad call right there” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The first the clip even the pitcher knew that was a ball 😂😂

Jerry meals is one of the worst umpires in the game

0:05 lol at Joe Nathan saying "wow". Even he thought that was a ball.

The ball hitting his foot was a tough thing to see, as a plate umpire that's tough but with 4 umpires they'll get that right 99% of the time

I'm a Cardinals fan, and even I have to admit that the infield fly rule was complete and utter bullshit. The Braves should've had the bases loaded. I mean, I won't complain about how it turned out, but it was a terrible call

Why are there so many questionable calls for the Yankees? Suspicious

My favorite one is the Pittsburgh vs Atlanta one. The catchers double take and then bewilderment is perfect for how terrible that call was

"HE CALLED HIM SAFE!!! You've got to be kidding me Jerry Meals" 😂😂 gold

That last call wasn't terrible, maybe if it's game 7 of the world series it belongs on the list, but it wasn't egregious or anything. Beyond that though, great video, I enjoyed it

I'm really, REALLY surprised that umps don't get knocked out every now and again. there's gotta be one player that loses his temper that much.

That's why umps will be replaced by video monitoring here soom

The first call was so bad!!! Even the pitcher said “wow.”

That Helton one is aweful!

How to be a Baseball umpire: -Be an old man -Stay overweight -Be blind Congratulations, work its yours :)

0:17 I'm a Braves fan and that infield fly rule call still pisses me off to this day. 🤬

4:28 looks like they are kissing 😂

1:30 I'm confused, how the hell could he have possibly been safe? He ran right past the plate and didn't even touch it

What was wrong with the last one with Howie Kendrick?

May we have a moment of silence for the St. Louis Cardinals. The play at 5:45 would have been the final out for game 6 of the world series, thus letting the Cardinals win it all. But, after the botched call, the Royals rallied and won game 6 and 7.

First Call (0:00) - I wish viewers could see the box, but it looked like ball four to me. Its break was getting lower and more outside, but it depends on where it ended up right when it hit the catchers glove. The umpire also took a while to call it. BAD Second Call (0:16) - It was playable for the shortstop AND left fielder, shortstop had to be at least 15-20 feet off the infield dirt, didn't look like they had an intent to drop the ball and turn a double play, so that isn't right. Plus it's the playoffs with an extra umpire. Cmon. BAD Third Call (0:55) - He was obviously still showing bunt, the up close replay and freeze shows. Not much to say on this one. BAD Fourth Call (1:22) - I watched a separate video on this, apparently the catcher broke an interference rule, but I don't see how he could have been doing so. They could say he's blocking the plate, but I didn't think he was doing that enough. The throw beat the runner by a lot, so as long as the catcher doesn't miss the tag (which he didn't) he should be out. BAD Fifth Call (2:06) - I don't think that type of play is reviewable, even today. It did look like he was pulled off the bag though. One could argue that his momentum was going off the bag anyway but the fielder pulled him off anyhow. The umpires should have overturned this. BAD Sixth Call (2:39) - It obviously goes off his foot. Another strange play, that I don't think can be reviewed today. But it obviously goes off his foot. Although there wasn't replay, there are four umpires there who ALL didn't see it go off his foot. Seriously... BAD Seventh Call (3:03) - From the side view it looked that the runner never hit the grass, which means he's not out of the baseline, and the fielder clearly missed the tag, so that shouldn't be a double play. One might argue the ball hit the runner on the hit before it got to the fielder, but it clearly didn't there either. Oh, a Yankees-Red Sox blown call is the best. BAD Eighth Call (3:32) - Like the first call, I wish viewers could see the box. It looked like ball two to me. Its break was getting lower and more outside as well, and once again, it depends on where it ended up right when it hit the catchers glove. Damn, Joe Girardi got his money's worth. As a Yankees fan, I like to see that. He had a nice 10 years. And if that umpire had missed calls in the same game before, that gives Girardi even more of a reason. BAD Ninth Call (4:33) - First baseman clearly off the base, umpire right there, replay shows it, nothing else really to say. BAD Tenth Call (5:06) - That is obviously bad. The pitchers foot got on the base before the runner. And that play ruined the pitcher's perfect game with two outs in the ninth inning. But everyone makes mistakes, and I like how Jim Joyce admitted to his blown call afterwards. Still a bad call and a disappointment, and I hated Jim Joyce in the moment. BAD Eleventh Call (5:45) - It looked as if he was out. Foot on the base from the first baseman, and even though the throw was bad, the first baseman still got it. One could argue that there was interference because the runner went flying, but it looked like he tripped on the bag trying to beat the throw (which he didn't). So I don't think that was the right call. BAD Twelfth Call (5:59) - It's actually pretty close, and the Angels shouldn't have assumed it didn't hit the ground and go straight to the dugout. I like the heads up play by the hitter running to first as well. Keep in mind the umpire had an opposite direction view of it as well. To me it looked like the ball didn't hit the ground, but because of everything going on and how close it was, I'll say it wasn't completely bad. Like 50-60% bad. Thirteenth Call (6:54) - Announcers pretty much took the words right out of me. Fair ball, off tip of glove and then lands fair. There are extra umps in the playoffs how you you miss that one. BAD Fourteenth Call (7:35) - The Jeffery Mayer incident is one of the first blown calls I ever watched and once again with extra playoff umps how is this one missed. Mayer clearly reached over the wall to catch it. Should be no homer, although I'll take it as a yankees fan. BAD Fifteenth Call (8:10) - Another one for the Yankees. This time with a strike/ball call we do have the box, and the first pitch is in the box, and it's breaking low and away once again. But because of the box and what I see, I'll say it's a strike, so ump got that one right. The second pitch is where he should have walked. That pitch was low according to the box and my eyes and David didn't even swing. Wow. But again, as a Yankees fan, I will take this. Yankees got so many their way in this video. I'll say this is 75% bad. Sixteenth Call (9:07) - This one is very close. I personally think he's safe. It doesn't matter if the throw beats the runner by a mile, the catcher still has to tag the runner. It was close, but I'm saying he didn't. It looked like he just swept air. Cmon Pirates bias announcers, say something about that. This could go either way though. Another consider the game was in the 19th inning, 7 hours long, umpires wanted to wrap things up. But that shouldn't play a role. I'm saying this call was a good one though. Seventeenth Call (10:04) - Another one that goes in favor of the Yankees that I'll take. But Cano and Posada are clearly off of 3rd base when they are tagged by the catcher, Posada could even be ruled out of the baseline. There is also the concept of Cano passing Posada on the base paths, but I don't think that happened. Still, they are both out. BAD Eighteenth Call (10:46) - I think that's too much of a bang bang play to be considered bad, but I'll say it is because replay shows he's out. It's like 90% bad. Personally, that's one of the most bang bang plays at first I've ever see. Wow, what a video.

No Kelly gruber triple play tag?

I think with the very last clip, it's so close there's no real way you could overturn it. That play was incredibly close, so they have to revert to the tie goes to the runner rule.

As an Angels fan, the bad calls in the 05 ALCS and the 09 ALCS still sting: Home Plate ump pumps his fist "out" after Pierzynski strikes out swinging, then changes his mind just cuz he ran? Even took thee seconds after he reached first to think before changing it. unbelievable! And then two Yankees caught out standing off the bag at third but the ump only calls one out??? I'm still cringing 7 years later

5:50 why he showing safe like that 😂😂😂

Last one wasn't a terrible call it was very close

It's mind boggling to me that replays have been taken under review just fairly recently. With so many horrendous calls, why did it take the league so long to implement it?!

Todd Helton just scampering off the field after being off the bag was hilarious

On the first one even the pitcher knew it was a ball! 😂

why was the last one a terrible call?

8:12 According to the pitch tracker, that was a strike. So....good call?

5:10 puts a wrench in my stomach every time.

The pirate 19 inning game call was so bad I don’t know how that umpire still has a job my dude 🤦‍♀️

2:16-2:18, the first baseman caused obstruction, and it’s so clear😂

After watching that play at 9:57 over and over, I don't think he tagged him. It looks like the catchers glove goes up and never comes in contact.

0:04 even the pitcher of the opposing team was stunned

9:01 the umpire is smiling as if he accomplished something. But the only thing he accomplished was stigma

The WORST call was having the ASStros win the 2017 Series. Thanks commissoner!

That last one wasn't that bad. It was wrong but not by much.

3:49 Girardi waving his index in the ump's face is still hilarious haha

Some of these were really close calls. Others make you wonder what the umpires were even looking at.

They need to just do away with umpires completely and go digital camera 100%

Wow no wonder the Yankees won so many World Series! They get all the calls their way!!! 🙄

God that infield fly rule in the Braves Cards game still causes me physical pain

The coach at 4:11 was arguing so much that I thought the whole thing was sped up hahahaha! I mean really? Look at that head shake!!!

9:36 was definitely the greatest worst call of the video and possibly in the entire MLB.

The Gallaraga/Jim Joyce call still haunts me to this day. A perfect game taken away and not overturned by Selig even though Joyce admitted to it. Awful.

The 3rd clip of Reds vs Marlins game, The runner wasn't even safe. He didn't even step the home plate.

9:10 has to be one of the ABSOLUTE WORST CALL EVER...that guy didn't even come close to touching the home plate and was called SAFE...hmm WTF LOL!!

I hate replay but this is exactly why baseball needs it

9:53 he fell lol

I like how the pitcher at 0:05 is even shocked

Wow,almost at 50,000 subs! congrats

They should be allowed to hit the umpires

1:40 Um, what the Hell?!? WHAT KIND OF B.S. TECHNICALITY WAS CALLED THERE?!?!?!?

There have been 210,000 Major League Baseball games played, and Galaraga would have pitched the 21st Perfect Game. Probably The Greatest Missed Call in MLB History.

That first one Nathan was like "Well, damn", but then like "Oh, ok"

That last one wasn't a 'worst call', it was a very close play. If it's too close to call, it goes the runner automatically.

that's the Yankees for you. all the calls going in their favor.

Tis is why EVERY call made by an umpire should be able to be reviewed. I know it will extend the game, but as a player, Id prefer a fairly called game vs. getting it over quicker.

Worst one there was Galarraga's perfect game blown by Jim Joyce because of the significance of the game. But the real worst one just on sheer incompetence of an umpire has to be Pittsburgh vs Atlanta. To have a call that bad, to end the game and give the team the winning run. The last one was nowhere near a bad call, let alone one of the worst. It was a typical close play that happens frequently. Miller vs Ortiz was the third worst one.

The Yankees got so many awful calls in their favor, I can't help but celebrate every time I see them suffer from a wrong call.

lol that last call was as close as it gets. How was that a terrible call?

9:09 is the best call in baseball history. Who cares if the throw beats him by a mile if the catcher never tags you!

The call with The Yankees- Red Sox game it bad. It’s even weirder that I have the second baseman’s autograph that “tagged” the runner

8:12 hit the zone according to that tracking system...

ugh. bring on robot umpires NOW please.

As a Cardinals fan, I will never forgive that 1st base umpire in that 1985 world series.

Funny thing about the Rays vs. Rangers one at the beginning was that it was a game ending call, so nobody could get thrown out.
