Speaking as a fan, and not an umpire, the real shame is that Eric Gregg is remembered for "screwing" the Braves with a huge strike zone in that game, but nobody ever got down on all of the other umpires in the NL at the time for giving Greg Maddux and Tom Glavine strikes consistently 8-10 inches off the outside corner, basically making them hall of fame pitchers. Gregg did nothing that wasn't being done already, it was just that someone finally had the stones to call those pitches AGAINST the Braves, instead of always for them.
