Product Description:

In any sport, whenever an official takes the field, court, ice, ring, or pitch, they do so with a bright red bull's-eye on their backs. For even with their great accuracy and passion for the game, they do make errors—occasionally, great big fat ones—that change the tide of sports history.

In The Worst Call Ever, keepers of truth and enlightenment, sportswriters Kyle Garlett and Patrick O'Neal, expose the most injurious mistakes and desecrations, document their lasting damage—which to some wronged parties has evolved into a condition akin to post-traumatic stress disorder—and hopefully become the soothing balm of reconciliation.

Each piece details the play in question and examines the players and stakes involved, the scope of the injustice, and the path of change that was often its result. Garlett and O'Neal cover mishaps in all sports, from the four Major Leagues to golf and auto racing to even curling, in this fascinating look at the worst calls in sports history.

	Customer Reviews: Average Rating: Rating : - The Worst Book EVER! I picked up the book for what I assumed was humorous reading. What I found, however, is a book full of leisure second-guessing by a non-official. Granted, the calls the author discusses are controversial, but to write a book about these calls and also villify those who made the calls is ridiculous. The author operates from a fan-based perspective, i.e., a raving lunatic, that the official who 'blew a call' is a horrible, terrible human being and has no business wearing those stripes. One bad call means the official deserves, at the very least, death. However, the author doesn't spend any time discussing all of the thousands - yes, that right - thousands of good calls and no-calls that same official has made over time. So, again, like a brain-dead rabid idiot, the author rants and raves and name-calls the official who 'blew' a call, only to ignore the really good past and future performances of those same officials. In other words, to put it simply, if a coach, player or sportscaster (gasp!) made a mistake, we need to look the other way and excuse that person for having an "off day" or having a "momentary lapse of judgment." Holding officials to the impossibly high standard of never making a mistake is ludicrous. Yes, officials are supposed to get it right, but then again, so is that 5.5 million dollar wide receiver who has dropped 60% of his passes this year, and so is that multi-million dollar coach who is 0-7 for the start of the season. Oh, and I guess we should mention the sportscaster who doesn't really know the rules but yet feels totally comfortable second-guessing and sounding like an expert. In short, it's simply a book to mock officials and does nothing to edcuate people about how very difficult it is to officiate a game at the collegiate and professional level, something all rabid fans need to learn to appreciate. This includes brain-dead annoying sportscasters-trying-to-be-author. + See Full Customer Review
