Given what they are being asked to do without the benefit of replay, I think baseball is the hardest sport to umpire. I'm amazed there aren't more calls like that.

I'd switch MLB and NFL.
The "accepted" rules in MLB turn me off. Like the 1st baseman pulling his foot early, (yeah, Ryan Howard, I'm talking to you) the phantom tag of 2nd on double play balls, and that 95% of umpires will call a guy out if the ball beats him to the bag, ignoring the tag.
I will say that I think that every sport but football has a few guys that think the crowd bought tickets to see them officiate.
