Major League Baseball has always had bad umpire calls. Managers running out of the dugouts and arguing seemingly blown calls is a part of the game, just as much as batting gloves or wooden bats.

But absolutely none of this compares to the egregious call by umpire Jim Joyce today to steal away what should have been a perfect game (the third in one season!) by Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galaragga.

I think it would be hard to argue that this was the worst blown call in MLB history:
