Softball umpire makes the worst call ever

As fans of baseball, we’re no stranger to blown calls from umpires. Remember the infield fly fiasco from the 2012 wild-card play-in game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves? Or in 2010, when Jim Joyce blew what should have been the final call of Armando Galarraga’s perfect game?

Both of those calls were pretty bad. But I’m not sure there’s ever been a blown call as egregious as this one. It’s from a softball game between Fultondale High School and Minor High School, both in the greater Birmingham, Alabama area.
