Umpiring is often a thankless, difficult job. Sometimes, however, a call goes so awry the baseball world can't help but stop and stare.
Take what happened Friday night in New Orleans. With two outs in the top of the ninth, New Orleans led Mississippi Valley State 7–3. Left fielder Davon Mims represented the Delta Devils’ last hope.
On a 1–1 count, Mims took a low called strike he clearly didn’t appreciate. That call, however, paled in comparison to the next one.
