Talk:Don Denkinger

Untitled
I've noticed that somebody has on two different occasions, removed the Kansas City Royals and St. Louis Cardinals catagories from the Don Denkinger page. I absolutely don't appreciate whomever is doing this. Don Denkinger is a very important and vital figure in the history of both franchises (especially the Cardinals). Denkinger's likely fate changing actions in the 1985 World Series is what he's best remembered for. User:TMC1982
 * I have not removed them, but I must disagree. If this were true, then any umpire who made a bad call becomes a part of that team's history.  This sounds like WP:OR .... though I know it is closer to being WP:NPOV ... an opinion that I don't think is shared by all. LonelyBeacon (talk) 00:39, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I must disagree with you, and so would Denkinger himself. There are regular bad calls, and then there are epicly bad calls.  Denkinger's was the latter, and it changed the outcome of the World Series.  Without the gift of Denkinger's blunder, the Royals would still be in the land of the Astros, Brewers, Padres and Rangers, i.e. they have lost all of their Series appearances.  It is less profound in Cardinals' history only because they have won numerous World Series, but it still took one away, which is quite significant. Jrgilb (talk) 03:01, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but Denkinger's call is not the only reason St. Louis lost that series. Automatic  Strikeout  19:27, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
