Veteran MLB umpire CB Bucknor made a controversial call during a game between the Milwaukee Brewers and Tampa Bay Rays, ruling Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers out for failing to touch first base after a play at first. However, instant replay revealed that Bauers had indeed touched the base, leading to a successful challenge and his reinstatement on base. The Brewers went on to win 6-2, with several players and managers laughing at Bucknor’s mistake. This incident further highlights Bucknor’s reputation for incompetence as an umpire.
