Talk:Tim McClelland

2007 wild card
The "did in fact not touch the plate" reference is bogus. There is no reference and the play is in dispute. I'm a big McClelland fan, but it's close JUST LIKE HAND GRENADES AND HORSESHOES and no video gives definitive proof. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.34.56.59 (talk) 05:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

2007 wild card video proof. Might want to check out www.hollidaynevertouchedtheplate.com for the conclusive video proof. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ifididit (talk • contribs) 06:30, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

"Worst Call of All Time" appelation doesn't belong here.
Yes, I understand that "some media outlets" have mentioned the "worst call of all time." Well, "some media outlets" also refer to Dave Pallone's call that sparked Pete Rose's suspension the worst call of all time; if you're in St. Louis, no doubt your local media outlets would note Don Denkinger in this context; Atlantans might bring up Eric Gregg.

Point is, whether or not reputable sources have used the phrase "worst call of all time," that is such a loaded and context-sensitive phrase that it in no way belongs in an encyclopedia's treatment of Mr. McClelland.

And if you disagree, I understand... but please update the page of EVERY OTHER MLB UMPIRE who has earned similar criticism over the years. :-)
