Bullsh!t. The Cardinals lost that series on their own. My how myths grow.
First remember Don's blown call was in game 6, not game 7. Then remember it resulted in the lead off batter making it to first. What happened next?
Jack Clark muffed Balboni's foul fly that would have helped the Cardinals get out of the inning unscathed. Let's not forget that catcher Porter mishandled a Todd Worrell pitch that put the winning run into scoring position.
Then game 7? Who are you going to blame that on?
No one call by any umpire including an admitted blown call at first by Denkinger cost the Cardinals that series. Get over it.
