Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 4409638, member: 2839"] October 17, 1999, this was called an out, and the throw to 1st completed an inning ending double play. [ATTACH type="full" alt="1666710089650.png"]80046[/ATTACH] Nomar (.357 league leading BA, 27 HR in '99, .400, 2 HR in the playoffs) would have been up with a man on 2nd, 2 outs, and down by a mere run, in the potential equalizing game. Instead, Garciaparra led off the bottom of the 9th, down by seven. The call cost the Sox momentum, and probably the game (and series, by extension). To make matters worse for the Red Sox at the time (Though in hindsight Sox fans should be more than satisfied with the majority of the next 23 years have gone.), [I]"Tschida later viewed videotape of the play and saw what millions around the country had seen: Knoblauch's glove missing Offerman's right side by a substantial margin. There was no question. "I didn't make the right call," Tschida acknowledged."[/I] [/QUOTE]
