The Denkinger and Joyce calls were the first that came to mind. Although, I have to say that I gained immense respect for Joyce after he manned up and owned it....something that I feel is quite rare in the umpiring world.
P.S. Would this be the wrong place to go on a rant about Joe West?
I was listening to the afternoon program on MLB Network Radio on XM earlier this week. They were taking callers on the show, and the callers were giving their opinions of the biggest disappointments for the first half of the season. One caller stated that the biggest disappointment was that Joe West was still umpiring games. I couldn't agree more.
Cheers!
