Dale Ford

He was well known for being behind the plate for Game 6 of the 1986 World Series, known for Bill Buckner's error; for tossing Baltimore Orioles Manager Earl Weaver out of a game during the National Anthem; and for ejecting Reggie Jackson from a game only to have Jackson begin throwing all the contents of the dugout onto the playing field.

Donnie Moore

In the public perception, Moore became indelibly associated with the Angels' loss of the pennant, in much the same manner that Bill Buckner became associated with the Red Sox' subsequent loss of the World Series later that year.
