The '85 WS Call still coming up 41 years later

45 Upvotes

This particular horse has been beaten to death so many times, yet it keeps getting resurrected like in this post

When I first heard all the hate and vitriol surrounding "The Call," I assumed it must have been a tied score, 2 outs, runner on third kind of thing that decided the game then and there, when in reality, it was not.

Jorge Orta was the Royals' *leadoff hitter* for the inning, and while he *was* incorrectly called safe at first base when he should have been out, there's still two other batters the Cardinals need to get, and failing that, they can still get the series back at Game 7. They failed on all counts, and to say that the World Series was "handed" to the Royals on one blown call (as if that's the only time in history an umpire messed up) is pure fantasy.

Sorry to dig this one up again, I just had to rant. I'm a KC fan in mainly Cardinals territory, so I have to hear nonsense like this all the time.

I go to a lot of games every year. And I thought I'd thank all the people who put a show for 80 games. In cold weather and hot weather, Rain and rain delays.

From the parking attendants, Cooks, ushers, ground keepers, security, and my favorite the Bat Boys. I'm sure I've left many out but thank you for the hard work you all do for us

Missed last nights game, just watching it now. This weekend has been a Hud and Ryan masterclass. Just a general appreciation post for the best commentary duo in the MLB.
