 | | In Game One at Yankee Stadium, umpire Rick Reed, working at second base, ruled that the Yankees' Chuck Knoblauch had possession of a relay throw on a force play when, in fact, he had clearly dropped the ball. |
 | | Then, in Game Four on Sunday night at Fenway Park, Tim Tschida, working second base in that game, ruled that Knoblauch had tagged out the Sox Jose Offerman, who was running from first to second base, when, in fact, he clearly missed him. |
 | | Both calls were made in full view of millions watching on national television and, in both instances, the TV replays showed clearly the calls had been made in error. |
