(I'm paying a moderate amount of attention and I hit a number of sports-focused web sites on a daily basis and hadn't seen that, so, in all seriousness, thanks for sharing.)

The fact that his body camera wasn't on... I"m not saying it's suspicious, but it sure as hell was a huge factor in them dropping this case. I also wonder if they were able to interview witnesses who did not see what the police report stated. You've got at least a half dozen vehicles right ther...

Re: MLB 2024
I should modify that to say worst call in a completely context free situation. Like, not calling an easy bang-bang play an out in a World Series or when a perfect game is on the line is a lot "worse."
But from a straight-up, objective WTF stand point? Woof.
