10. Brett Hull in the Crease

SportsNet

I know as much about hockey as these replacement referees know about refereeing. Ergo, I will rely on the words of my great friend Eric Ryan to describe why this play was essentially the NHL’s version of the “Tuck Rule”

"Cheated, but not defeated" was the chant in Buffalo after Brett Hull's toe nail grazed Dominic Hasek's crease to decide the 1999 Stanley Cup. Horrible interpretation of the rule and therefore a bad call? Absolutely. But was interfering with the goaltender? Not a chance.

9. Thanksgiving Coin Snafu

This isn’t so much about a call per say, but rather the embarrassing nature of screwing up a coin toss. I remember exactly where I was when Phil Luckett misheard Jerome Bettis, giving the Lions the ball to start overtime and winning. This abomination changed the coin toss rules forever, ya know, since it’s so hard to do.

8. AJ Pierzynski Does AJ Pierzynski Things

AJ Pierzynski is one of baseball’s most hated players, and look no further than the 2005 ALCS for the reasons why. As a White Sox fan, I love this play, but AJ easily struck out. By reaching first base on the “dropped” third strike, it extending the inning for Chicago, to only win on a walk-off double by Joe Crede later that inning.

7. The Entire 2002 Western Conference Finals

Do I even need to go into depth why the 2002 Western Conference Finals was a disgrace? No? Ok, thanks.

6. Jeffrey Maier Aids Derek Jeter

Sports Illustrated

The original Bartman. Jeffrey Maier was just a kid attending a playoff game. Little did he know, he would go down in infamy as the best fan the Yankees ever had. Maier clearly reached over the right field fence to bring a Derek Jeter home run into the crowd instead of Tony Tarassco’s glove. Jeter’s legend was born and the Orioles went into baseball depression for years.

5. Colorado Has Five On It

Columbia Tribune

Giving a team five downs is like giving a team five timeouts - - right, Jim Harbaugh? This faux paux aided the Buffaloes to claim a share of the National Championship in 1990, which is why it is such a memorable blunder.

4. The Imperfect Game

MLB

I don’t need to go in-depth on Jim Joyce’s call on the imperfect game; he did a good enough job of that himself when he said “I kicked the **** out of it. I cost that kid a perfect game”

3. "Hand of God"

Sports Illustrated

For as little as I know about hockey, I know less about soccer. So when I know who you are and what play you are referring to when I hear the phrase "hand of God", you know it's a big deal. In the 1986 World Cup Final against England, Maradona's first goal was aided by a handball that was uncalled; ergo, the whole "hand of God" thing.

2. Don Denkinger Blows Game Six

Ronald Modra - Sports Illustrated

Denkinger completely whiffed by calling Royals’ Jorge Orta safe on a close play at first place, propelling the Royals to rally and win Game 6 and defeat a deflated Cardinals team in considerable fashion in Game 7.

1. 1972 Olympic Gold Basketball Game

Rich Clark

If there has ever been an example of the phrase “third time’s a charm”, this would be it. The USSR was given three separate inbound passes, with the third one giving the USSR the 51-50 win over the United States. The whole story is pretty fascinating, so if you are unfamiliar with it, you should check into it.
