    For those of you that are too young to remember. Don Denkinger cost the St.Louis Cardinals the 1985 World Series with a blown call at first in Game 6. The KC runner was clearly out, just like tonight. And you know what happened tonight.

    Which is worse...Your team getting screwed out of a World Series championship, or your favorite pitcher getting screwed out of a perfect game?

    Wrong is and always will be wrong. Get instant replay involved to get the calls right.

        Baseball is a team sport, thus it was more significant in the case of the 1985 call. This call today will be forgotten in a few weeks.

          Is this a serious question?

              If this isn't a cry out for instant replay I don't know what is.

                      Agree with you but the Denkinger call is worse. A world series game is bigger than a perfect game.
