Was Game 6 of the 1985 World Series a fix by Major League Baseball to help the Kansas City Royals win Game 6, and the World Series?

The Cardinals led the World Series 3-2, needing one more win to become champs.

In the bottom of the 9th with no outs and no one on base, and the Cardinals leading 1-0, Royals pinch hitter Jorge Orta hits a chopping bouncer to Cardinals first baseman Jack Clark, who tosses it to Cardinals pitcher Todd Worrell covering first base, who tagged the bag ahead of Orta.

Don Denkinger, Umpire #11, made one of the worse blown calls in Major League Baseball history by calling Orta safe when replays show Orta was out by a half a step.

The Royals then scored two runs to win the game.
Don Denkinger went on to be the umpire behind the plate for Game 7 of this World Series where the Royals blew out the Cardinals, 11-0, and became World Series Champions.

Denkinger has regularly appeared at sports memorabilia shows (including ones in St. Louis) willing to autograph photos depicting this blown call. Denkinger also owns a painting featuring himself, Todd Worrell, and Jorge Orta involved in this play.
