This wasn’t even close.
In tonight’s game between the Minnesota Twins and the New York Yankees, Twins first baseman Justin Morneau appeared to beat out a throw to first by a good yard or so. Umpire Cory Blaser thought differently, and called Morneau out. Here’s the play:

Granted, this clip is slowed down to appear more dramatic, but it was still pretty obvious to everyone (including a ticked-off Morneau) that he was safe. What say you? Where does it rank with worst calls this year?
