You got to include the dropped 3rd strike by AJ Pierzynski(sp) in the '05 playoffs.

Sid Bream sliding into home plate to beat the Pirates in the 1992 NLCS.

For controversial I think you can add the following:

1) 1957/1969 World Series' "shoe polish" incidents.

2) 1997 Eric Gregg mile wide strike zone.

3) 1908 "Merkle Boner".

4) 1973 NLCS Reds/Mets brawl.

5) 2000 Clemens/Piazza bat toss.

6) 1991 World Series Kent Hrbek lifts Ron Gant off of first base

7) 1919 Blacksox scandal

All the good ones were taken but the missed triple play call in the '92 World Series is also pretty controversial. After the game the ump that missed the call admitted as much.

1999 ALCS phantom tag of Jose Offerman by Chuck Knoblauch.
