Not a Braves fan who doesn’t remember that- good news is he owes us a big fat one. And he damn well knows it. I plan to get there early. He will hear - politely - about it.
Some condemned Braves fans for throwing trash on the field after that call. I only regret it wasn't free javelin giveaway night.

Looking back at that whole situation... there was no "pressure" or anything for him to make that call. It isn't like he was the only guy responsible, and needed to be the one to make it. Just one of the most baffling screw ups I can never unsee.

What made that call worse was the fact that no one in baseball would admit it was a bad call. You had them all close ranks and say stuff like "A flyball to the warning track could still be an infield fly." It was insulting. If Holbrook had just come out after the game and said "I kicked that call" and Torre had said "It was the wrong decision but it's a judgment call that can't be reversed" I'd feel better.
Also, Holbrook was a line judge. His only function out there was have another pair of eyes on whether a ball was fair or foul. He shouldn't have been making any other calls.
