7 World Series gaffes that will never be forgotten

The pressure is on during the World Series. While Major League Baseball's championship series results in moments of triumph, viewers never forgot a memorable blunder either.

With all the World Series games played in the history of MLB, a number of costly mistakes have turned game time upside down and led to a completely different outcome than the expected.

Below are just a few of the most famous World Series gaffes in the order that they happened.

10 MEMORABLE POSTSEASON MOMENTS IN WORLD SERIES HISTORY

The 1912 best-of-seven World Series ended up in an eighth game. The previous game was called at a tie due to the darkness on the field.

During the bottom of the 10th inning in game 8 of the 1912 World Series, Clyde Engle of the Boston Red Sox hit a fly ball into the outfield.

The ball was headed for Fred Snodgrass, who missed the catch as the ball bounced right out of his glove. In the same inning, the Red Sox played off the mistake and scored two runs, winning the entire series.

Hank Gowdy's World Series fumble was in 1924, during the seventh game of the series between the Washington Senators and New York Giants.

The score was tied and Muddy Ruel, catcher for the Senators, hit a pop-up foul ball. If Giants' catcher Gowdy caught it, there would have been two outs on the leader board.

Gowdy's foot got caught in his mask and he missed the catch. Ruel made the most of his extra life at bat and hit a double. The Senators went on to win the championship.

"It held me like a bear trap," Gowdy later said about the unfortunate moment.

Babe Ruth set many records during his time in MLB, but it wasn't all legendary moments for the iconic athlete.

In 1926, Ruth got caught stealing second base during game 7 of the World Series. The Yankees down 3-2 in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Ruth's attempt to steal got him thrown out by the Cardinals catcher. This play ended the World Series.

This marked the only time in World Series history that a game has ended with a player caught stealing. 

Mickey Owen let a third strike get past him during game 4 of the 1941 World Series. The Brooklyn Dodgers were up 4-3 and Hugh Casey, the team's pitcher, had a full count on the New York Yankees' Tommy Henrich.

Henrich swung and missed a curveball for strike three. Owen missed the catch on the third strike, sending the ball into the backstop and giving Henrich time to get to first base.

In that inning, the Yankees went on to score four runs and won the game, 7-4. The following day, the Yankees won again and took home the title.

A sky full of sunshine worked against Los Angeles Dodgers' Willie Davis during game 2 of the 1966 World Series. In the fifth inning of a scoreless game, Baltimore Orioles center fielder Paul Blair hit a pop fly into center field.

Davis, outfielder for the Dodgers, lost the ball in the sun and missed the catch. The next batter also hit the ball toward Davis, who again lost the ball. After picking it up, he overthrew it to third.

"You can't catch what you can't see," Davis later said of his missed catches.

The Orioles went on to win their first championship.

In 1985, it's believed the most controversial calls in World Series history were made. The St. Louis Cardinals were up 1-0 in game 6 and needed just three outs to win the series.

Kansas City Royals' Jorge Orta was the first hitter in the bottom of the ninth and hit a grounder. Jack Clark, the first baseman, fielded the ball and flipped it to Todd Worrell, who was covering the base.

Worrell seemed to clearly step on the base before the runner, but umpire Don Denkinger called the runner safe. The play was argued but was not overturned.

After this call, Royals hitter Dane Iorg knocked two runs in to win the game.

The Bill Buckner blunder happened in 1986 when the first baseman missed a ground ball in a pivotal moment during game 6 between the Boston Red Sox and New York Mets. Red Sox manager John McNamara was using Dave Stapleton as a defensive replacement for Buckner, who had two bad ankles, late in games in which Boston was ahead. This time, McNamara decided to stick with Buckner.

During the 10th inning, the score was tied at 3-3. A grounder off the bat of Mookie Wilson rolled down the baseline and through Buckner's legs, allowing the New York Mets to score and win the game. The Mets would go on to win game 7 and the series.

Sen. Peter Welch says Israel ground invasion would 'exacerbate' conditions in Gaza: 'Grave concerns'

Sen. Peter Welch, D-Vt., said Monday he has "grave concerns" about Israel's potential ground invasion into Gaza amid an ongoing war prompted by Hamas' terror attack on the Jewish State.

In a statement released Monday, Welch said he has "grave concerns about the wisdom and military efficacy" of an Israeli ground invasion in Gaza and that there is "no doubt" an imminent ground invasion would be "catastrophic for innocent Palestinians in Gaza and jeopardize urgent efforts to save hostages."

"Israel has the absolute right to attack Hamas for the brutal, heinous slaughter of more than 1,400 Israelis and the taking of more than 200 hostages," Welch wrote. "But, Israel also has a responsibility to protect Palestinian civilians living in Gaza, including one million children. Already, more than 5,000 Palestinians have died."

More than 5,700 people have been killed and thousands more wounded in Gaza and Israel since Hamas launched its largest attack against Israel in decades on Oct. 7, leading Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to declare war on the terrorist group.

TWO AMERICAN HOSTAGES RELEASED FROM GAZA, FOX NEWS IS TOLD

Israel has indicated it will be conducting a ground invasion into Gaza to attack Hamas, although there is no definitive timetable on when such an attack would begin.

Hamas has taken more than 220 people hostage, but at least four have been released thus far, including two Americans who were freed last week. The Israeli military told The Times of Israel that it is concerned additional hostage releases by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay a ground invasion or stop it midway.

U.S. and international officials, lawmakers and humanitarian aid groups have expressed concerns about the conditions in Gaza after Israel cut off water and fuel supply to the region following Hamas' initial attack.

"The humanitarian conditions in Gaza are terrible and getting worse every day," Welch said in his statement. "One million Palestinians, including women and children, have been displaced. Most are living in the open—without food, without shelter, fuel, water, or access to medicine. United Nations relief efforts have begun but are unable to meet the extreme needs of the moment."

"A ground invasion would further exacerbate the dire conditions in Gaza," Welch concluded.

BIDEN, OTHER WESTERN LEADERS REAFFIRM ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO DEFEND ITSELF, CALL FOR FOR CIVILIAN PROTECTION

Last week, Welch and fellow Democrat Sens. Brian Schatz, of Hawaii, and Chris Van Hollen, of Maryland, wrote a letter to Biden urging that "every effort be made to avoid civilian harm and to allow access to humanitarian aid for those in need," including restoring access to food, electricity, water, fuel and medicine to civilians in Gaza and establishing a humanitarian corridor to allow aid into Gaza and safe passage for U.S. citizens who wish to evacuate the region.

The international community has been working to supply civilians of Gaza with humanitarian aid in the wake of the violence in the region. Egypt, Israel and the United Nations facilitated a 20-truck convoy carrying humanitarian assistance that was delivered to Gaza through the Rafah border crossing last week.

President Biden and five other Western leaders said in a joint statement Sunday that they "welcomed the announcement of the first humanitarian convoys to reach Palestinians in need in Gaza and committed to continue coordinating with partners in the region to ensure sustained and safe access to food, water, medical care, and other assistance required to meet humanitarian needs."
