Baseball's Biggest Blunders
I was watching this show on MLB Network.
Of course they gave #1 to Bill Buckner. I disagree. I thought Andres Gallaraga as soon as the show started, and didn't see where that placed. There were a number of Umpire blunders, so that factors in. What do you remember as the biggest screw-up in baseball? Don't say Steve Howe. We're looking for a play or a call.

Was that when he had the ball in his glove, bobbled it, snatched at it real quick and tossed it right over the fence?

Re: Baseball's Biggest Blunders
No that was the little bastard who reached into the field of play during the '96 ALCS. Instead of fan interference (or what would've been an out, as Tarasco was camped out underneath where the ball was headed) Jeter was awarded a home run. Yankees went on to win the game in extra innings.

Game 2 of the '91 World Series when the Twins 1st baseman Kent Hrbek pulled Braves player Ron Gant of the bag and the umpire ruled him out.

Re: Baseball's Biggest Blunders
I'm going with the old stand-by of Bill Buckner for obvious Mets fan related reasons.

Re: Baseball's Biggest Blunders
Wasn't there some player this season who stole second, then stole first, then got thrown out stealing second . . . all in the same at-bat? I don't remember the player or team, but I do recall the fubar.

Re: Baseball's Biggest Blunders
Babe Ruth getting thrown out attempting to steal second down one run to end the 1926 World Series to me is one of the biggest boners in baseball history. Doesn't get brought up all that much though, because he's Babe Freaking Ruth.

Re: Baseball's Biggest Blunders
Baseball's biggest blunder? It's a tie...the Wilpons buying the Mets and then them giving Omar Minaya the general manager position.

Re: Baseball's Biggest Blunders
Buckner had 2 bad knees and shouldn't have been in the game, he could barely walk as it was, if they said the blunder was leaving him in and not putting in a defensive sub then I would agree it was top 5 or so worthy.
How about any of the hearings surrounding steriods in baseball, I'd go with rafael palmeiro swearing to a congressional committee that he never did roids, or clemens swearing he never did them. My real answer... - Pedro Martinez – 1999 Red Sox being LEFT OFF OF two MVP ballots both shithead beat writers for the Yankees. After finishing 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA and 313 strikeouts, Martinez got eight first-place votes, but he was also left off a couple of ballots and finished second in the balloting to Ivan Rodriguez, who was probably the league’s fourth or fifth best position player. Martinez was even better the following year in 2000, when he went 18-6 with a 1.74 ERA, but he came in fifth that year. |
