    Rose has a legitimate gripe; Hershiser didn't touch the bag. If course, there was no instant replay back then, so the call could not be reviewed and overturned. Joe West was one of the worst umpires in MLB, along with him brother, Angel Hernandez. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Hernandez went to the Joe West School Of Umpiring. 😆😆😆😆😆😆
