That umpire in the Levan Hernandez game should have never been allowed to umpire another game. That game gave fuel to people who think games are rigged.

The Jerry meels incident the game went to the 19th inning, that’s wild 💀💀

Not surprised to see Angel Hernandez call a home run a double.

Gallarraga pitched perfect game. Anyone who claims otherwise is not safe. Just kidding. Not…..Safe, that is.

Baseball goes back all the time to tweak things after a game, changing an error to a hit or vice-versa. I don't understand why they haven't done so with Galarraga's perfect game. I know it would be a big, big deal to do so and likely bigger than anything they ever done it on but it deserves it. What really sucks is he never came close to that kind of success again. His career was over not long after after continuing to struggle.That was his moment and it was taken away. What maybe is worst of all is how calm and understanding he was about it. He could have made an umpire (whom other than this instance) had and has been one of the best umpires in baseball feel even worse than he already did but he didn't. ...and yet some people still whine about how long instant replay sometimes takes. I was actually at that Braves vs. Cardinals "Infield-Fly" game. I had never seen a ball that far into the outfield called an infield fly before or since. What the hell were the umpires thinking? Do you know how many times games have been won or lost because a ball falls in between the infielders and the outfielders with a runner on third that allowed him to score? They were so far out there that after the ball hits the ground they would have a hard time throwing to a base in time to get the force out. Which if you didn't know is the exact purpose of the rule. To keep infielders from acting like they are about to catch a pop up with runners on base but let it drop at the last second to get force outs at the bases. Their was no such danger there and to this day I truly think it was the result of the fact that baseball adds 2 umps to each game only during the playoffs and maybe the ump down the line forgot he was not on the infield himself like he usually. Either way as mad as I was I was embarrassed with how many in the crowd through trash. I was sitting there thinking how it made Braves fans look.

Even if that Jeter Homerun call wasn't as easy to see as it was why on Earth would an ump make that call? Does he think the right fielder just decided tonight he was going just stand there and let the ball creep into the stands? Believe me if a homerun barely sneaks over a wall the fielder is going to give it all he has got to rob the would be homerun. Partly because it saves runs but also they want to do it because it's awesome. I still don't like how the kid was being treated as a hero. I get it's a home game but I would think they would have wanted to win the game themselves not have it handed to them. At least not when you are a big market team like the Yankees. The Yankees and Braves wee both featured which makes me think. It is ridiculous that the people out there who bullied the Indians into changing their name has apparently now moved onto the Braves of all teams. They clearly felt a new feeling of importance with the last team and want to relive it. What is annoying is how is the name Yankees ok but Braves is a problem? Only one is an actual term for a race from a certain region. A quick dictionary search of the name Braves and they would see Native Americans aren't mentioned once. It is a term to signify the brave of any race. Whenever I read someone saying it's offensive I try and point out the obvious and point out that I guess Americas National Anthem is insensitive and racist since "..and the home of the Brave". To say Braves is racist would be the same as saying the Warriors, Titans, even Patriots are so. Indians was deemed such but not a peep about another professional sports team which too is named after a term for certain people from a certain part of the world. The Vikings. Unlike Cleveland which had long since dropped any imagery of an "Indian" the Vikings go all in even having a guy ride a harley onto the field in full get up. Showing imagery of a caricature of a "Viking" even down to the big nose, pale skin, long braided blonde hair and hell even the silly looking metal and fur helmet with horns. So why is one deemed racist while the other is left scot-free? Well sadly the Vikings happen to share a skin shade with the one race apparently it is acceptable to be racist towards. All I can say is I'm happy Braves fans aren't going to give in and change the name. It's one of, if not the most unique name in professional sports. I also point out to those people that they (the people calling for a name change based on racism) that they are the only ones being racist. Considering the local tribes have already made it very clear they have absolutely no problem with the name, and honestly why would they? They are intelligent enough to know what it means. Thus people of another race jumping in proclaiming it is offensive are the ones being offensive by basically saying "the Native Americans don't know enough to know when to be offended so we will step in and tell them when they should be". I know this is off topic but hey.

Do you mean there's only 10?

I feel like baseball is the #1 sport for illegal sports gambling and fixing games. It's so clear with the way the umps behave. Basketball is #2.z

With Holliday he was obstructed from touching home by the pitcher who didn’t have control of the ball to tag him, safe was a fair call

Wow, Jim Joyce call spoiling Andres Galarraga's perfect game will go down in history as the worst call, Jim Joyce tells everyone he made a bad call and he say's he could take it back, he says looking at the video replay he said he made a bad call, this is the reason there should be video review of all close plays and make it right, they keep saying that video review will ruin the game of baseball which is a load of crap, they keep saying umpires are humans and they should keep it as it is, terrible calls are made every day and they say we should live with it.

Bring in the cyborgs.

"He called safe" destroyed a generation of Pirate fans the same way the strike zone in game 7 of the 1992 NLCS destroyed a previous generation of Pirate fans.

4:17 was the worst strike call ive ever ever seen, im a braves fan i dont remember this tho but wth

Also, some of these umps need to eyes checked and need glasses.

It was a textbook infield fly. Get over it

click bait. Very first clip might have been a strike.

I should have figured I'd be seeing that prick angel Hernandez up in this bitch.

i will go to my grave that the right call was made in the braves pirates games. I remember watching that live.

This list isn't close to being correct as everyone knows that Angel Fernandez has at least 7 of the top 19 Worst calls in MLB History

STUPID LOUD MUSIC ruined this video

Its crazy how much calls the yankees used to get.

I know Jim Joyce made a mistake and a big one but at least he admits it and feels bad about it. I still say it’s a perfect game and MLB should go back and make it one. Literally nobody worth their salt would object.

Nobody goes to a ball game to see the umpire. Why do they get their fragile egos involved?

Number 6 was the correct call against the pirates catcher. In the original replay if you slow it down the catcher whiffs the tag over the runners leg and never contacts the body or arm on the way up following through with his motion. Runner was indeed safe. Throw beat him but the tag wasn’t applied.

That stupid strike zone "box" has got to go; at least until they can make one that shows the proper 3-DIMENSIONAL strike zone. Any person who argues any other way, or doesn't understand this, has never umpired a baseball game before with pitchers who can hit the corners with wicked cutters and curve balls. A 2-dimensional box on a flat TV screen cannot show when an inside pitch (for example) runs away and clips the back corner of the plate, which is a FULL EIGHT AND A HALF INCHES BEHIND the front corner.

I am a bad umpire and some of these calls I even could have made

I was actually kind of interested in watching this video, but the moment that I saw your #10 clip I just stopped. You honestly can’t consider that one of the 10 worst calls in MLB history. The ball bounced back into the field of play and from 300 feet away at full speed you can see how they might miss that. The honorable mentions were far more egregious.

The infield fly rule in the Braves game was absolutely 100% correct by the umpires - no doubt about it by people who understand the rules and their interpretations

THE IDIOT ANNOUNCER CALLING GARCIA FOR HUSSLING and missing the call.

Jim Joyce tells Angel Hernandez to hold his beer…

As a Detroit fan, #1 makes me want to throw up to this day; I watched it happen. Perhaps Reggie Bush getting his trophy back will be a spark to get it overruled.

that last one actually hurts. something you could tell your grandkids about and that dumb dumb ruins it. smh. at least everyone knows he did earn it

2:53 "...disappointing from the fans at Turner field..." No, it's disappointing that the umpire made the wrong call. If you don't want to make fans angry, get the call right. 4:21 Nice job of including Eric Gregg's shameful performance. Top marks, excellent video.

Anything with Hernandez is guaranteed to be screwed up. Can someone Please buy out his pension and get him out of the game forever. I'll gladly buy tickets to see his last game just to boo him Everytime he's involved in a play. All of these plays were definitely horrible, but the Jim Joyce blown call was the worst because not only did it kill a Perfect Game, but Joyce's reaction was the first time I ever felt bad for an Umpire.

Worst calls in all of the MLB's history? Not even close dude. This was lame as hell.

The Jeffery Maier interference still burns me to this day.

I am shocked it's not all Angel Hernandez calls.

Just once, could someone create a video that does NOT have any annoying background music?

Honey Breen and were at a PGE(GE stock?) park watching baseball. Left centerish seats. Home run hit seats away from us. Same row maybe. "It's not hard to be lucky!" Hello again. TY.😢🎉❤❤

The infield fly was justified. The Shortstop was literally camped under the ball. Last second pulls away. That was a good call.

Of course the gay Jeter cheater should be #1 b.s. call.

These "umpires" are almost as bad as the referees in the NHL. Almost.

Can an umpire reverse his call in the middle of the game? Like without looking at the replay can you he pause for a second or 2 and then change his own call?

Those last two were brutal they had a Perfect Game and a World Series on the line

The infield fly one is... gosh... I would have called that as an umpire. Infielder is clearly calling for the ball. Yes, he is in the outfield, but if he intentionally drops it.. it's a double play. After the ruling.. I still think it is the right call. Rule book be damned on this play. Can anyone agree this would NOT be a double play if he drops it intentionally??

Obviously, these are the worst calls of the last 40 years. The 1977 NLCS first base call (Phillies/Dodgers) and the 1970 World Series (Bernie Carbo call) were both terrible.

Stupid games stupid prizes. 0 good reasoning for not calling the game objectively with video review if competition is the highest priority.

That call against the Cardinals still makes me mad to this day... and I wasn't even alive when it happened. Lol I just remember hearing about it and watching a replay of it with my dad when I was about 5

Funny thing, the Pirates "no he was safe call" was actually probably right. It sucks that we don't have better footage but its genuinely a super close missed tag. I think it was foolish baseball who did a vid on it but yeah it was damn close and realistically a pretty well done call on the field. Replay and strike challenge (or even automation) should 100% be expanded though, baseball has a lot of close calls, and its unrealistic to expect an ump to make correct calls even 98% of the time, let alone be perfect. Expanding reviewable calls, making the procedure more transparent, while keeping some physical presence in the field (for the subjective intent/moderation aspects) seems to me like a no-brainer.

2:42 I understand being frustrated with the call but not so frustrated I’m wasting my $15 beer
