Gant was called out by first-base umpire Drew Coble, and the Braves went on to lose by a run. As Hrbek caught a relay throw, he appeared to stumble backwards and physically pull Gant’s leg off of first base. In Game 2 of the 1991 World Series between the Braves and Twins, Gant stumbled back to first after singling and became tangled with Twins first baseman Kent Hrbek. After two more singles, Mauer was stranded on third base to end the 11th, and the Yankees won the game in the bottom half of the inning. Mauer should have been credited a ground-rule double, but settled for a single later in the at-bat. In the top of the 11th inning of Game 2 of the 2009 ALDS between the Yankees and Twins, left-field umpire Phil Cuzzi called a Joe Mauer line drive foul even though it was fair by about a foot and even though making foul-line judgments is basically the left-field umpire’s whole job. A couple batters later, Joe Morgan drove home the winning run and the Reds went on to win the series in seven games. Fisk and manager Darrell Johnson argued for a runner’s interference call, but did not get one.

Fisk, attempting to gun down a runner at second base, fired the ball into center field to give the Reds runners on second and third. In the tenth inning of the third game of the 1975 World Series between the Red Sox and Reds, Cincinnati pinch-hitter Ed Armbrister laid down a bunt, then collided with Fisk, Boston’s catcher, in fair territory. Both Galarraga and Joyce - who admitted afterward that he blew the call - handled the mishap with astonishing class, but good manners don’t put a perfect game on Galarraga’s resume. On June 2, 2010, the Tigers’ journeyman starter pitched 8 2/3 perfect innings before first-base umpire Jim Joyce incorrectly called Indians hitter Jason Donald safe at first base on what should have been the 27th out of a rare perfect game. But it will come as little solace to the following men - those victimized by some of the worst calls in baseball history, all of which would likely be overturned by instant replay if they happened today. The news will certainly be welcomed by all players, coaches and fans interested in ensuring that MLB games are as fair as possible. Managers will be given three challenges per game, which will be reviewed and determined by an official using MLB Advanced Media’s available footage at the company’s New York headquarters.

Major League Baseball has decided to implement instant replay on practically all aspects of the game besides the strike zone starting in the 2014 season, USA TODAY Sports reported on Thursday.
