Jerry Meals' Bad Call (Video)

The Pirates - Braves game lasted 19 innings, ending on what's being called a "controversial call" at home plate.
In the bottom of the 19th inning of a 3-3 ballgame — just minutes before 2 a.m. EST — Pirates catcher Michael McKenry appeared to clearly swipe the leg of a sliding Julio Lugo at home plate. But umpire Jerry Meals ruled McKenry missed the tag, giving the Braves a 4-3 win and sparking a social media firestorm among those dedicated enough to stick the game out to its conclusion.

I don't think it's appropriate to deem it controversial. There's nothing controversial about it. There can be no disagreement about it.

Clearly, it was a shockingly bad call.

Worst MLB call ever?

Video.
