The discovery of the planet Neptune is similar. John Couch Adams vs Urbain Le Verrier. Adams' calcs were way out and pretty much fluked getting close. Le Verrier actually did the math correctly. But hey, he was French and Adams was the British under(bull)dog. (Tom Standage ran with it that way too).
