And 19 years later, we St. Louis fans still hate him.
As for the worst umpire in the bigs right now, I'd have to go with C.B. Bucknor. I don't think I've ever seen a game of his that there wasn't some sort of controversy over one of his calls...and replays usually proved him wrong.

I hope you hate Joaquin Andujar even more. I mean, giving up 11 runs in a game seven is just downright awful.

At the time of Game 7 in 1985, I was all of 2 years old. So I obviously don't remember the series. But I can't go to a Cards game without seeing at least one sign that says something about Denkinger. Of course, even if the call had gone the other way, St. Louis might still have lost that Game 6. Still, it would have been nice to say that "my team" has won a world championship in my lifetime.
