Phil Cuzzi's call in Yankees-Twins game among the worst ever?
—
Phil Cuzzi is lucky his horrendous call benefited the New York Yankees and hurt the Minnesota Twins. Had it been the other way around, those big meanies in the Big Apple -- who don't share our tempered Midwestern disposition -- may have made things real unpleasant for him. Cuzzi, a veteran ...

ALCS Preview: Anaheim Angels vs New York Yankees
