Who have been the worst MLB Umpires of all-time?
With the news of CB Bucknor retiring at the end of the season, I had to explain to my wife why this was such good news in my mind. Bucknor was the last of that group of MLB Umps who were brazen in their incompetence.
Growing up you had Bucknor, Angel Hernandez, and Country Joe West who were some of the most egregious with how poor their strike zones were and how poor their call quality was over the decades. Hernandez and Bucknor just became bigger ass holes the more they got called out for being so bad too.
I would want to add Jim Joyce to the list as a Tigers fan, but he was generally good at his job sans the one REALLY BIG missed call. So I'm leaving him and Don Denkinger off. I'm not talking singular worst calls, I'm talking "should have been fired decades ago"-bad overall.
So who were some of the other really #bad umps in MLB all-time.
