    Which blown call was more significant, Don Denkinger or Jim Joyce?

    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.
